Om denne film

Oscar Winners Anthony Hopkins (Actor, The Silence of the Lambs, 1991) and Helen Mirren (Actress, The Queen, 2006) are spellbinding in this provocative story about the making of one of cinema's most iconic films. Plagued by both a reckless ego and nagging self-doubt, Hollywood legend Alfred Hitchcock (Hopkins) becomes obsessed with a grisly murder story that the studios won't back. Determined, he risks his reputation, his home and even the love of his wife Alma (Mirren), as he sets out to make the film. Ultimately, Hitch wins Alma over, and the two collaborate to create an enduring masterpiece - Psycho.

Bedømmelser og anmeldelser

Anthony Hopkins and Helen Miriam are perfectly cast in this film about the making of Psycho and all the trials and tribulations that went into making the picture. Scarlett Johansson gives a wonderful performance as the talented Janet Leigh. The fear in her eyes during the infamous shower scene will cause you to see her as the terrific actress she truly is, and give you a reason to lock the bathroom door before turning the water on. A perfect movie for any Hitchcock fan. 5 stars!

I absolutely loved Hopkin's performance in "Hitchcock" - he truly brings this witty and adorable character to life! The duo - Hopkins and Mirren - is a match made for the silver screen! Don't worry about the trailers and synopses for this film, because they don't do it justice. Had I known this film was going to be such a delight to watch, I would've already watched it in the theaters when it first came out!

Hitchcock was a predatory, licentious old fart whose wife was a huge, unacknowledged part of his success. If he lived in 2021, he would be in prison like Harvey Weinstein.
