The Worst Film Ever

So much average

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

The story of the "Master of Suspense" is depicted so well in this movie, thanks to all the players and the nostalgic effects. I remember personally when the scary movie "Psycho" was released when I was fourteen, so I was easily immersed into the era of the early sixties, not only from the time of, again, the release of the reputedly scary movie and the allusions to "North by Northwest" and "Vertigo" (personally, my favorite Hitchcock film, by the way) but also from the allusions to the Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis films of the 1950's. One piercingly noticeable fact from this movie is that Alfred Hitchcock was so obsessed with his working that this man was seemingly possessed by his perfecting in his directing. (There were places where scenes were shot depicting his unhappy home life and scenes were shot depicting, in turn, scenes that were being shot for the movie "Psycho", and it was difficult at times to distinguish between the two types of scenes.) Again, the actors were well-chosen. Though he was not a spitting image of Hitchcock, Anthony Hopkins did portray the part of that man well, with the same bald head and the corpulent body. Helen Mirren adapted well to the role of Alma Hitchcock, Alfred's often-hostile wife. The beautiful Scarlett Johannson came across well as the beautiful actress Janet Leigh, and was virtually an exact look-alike of Leigh. The appealing Jessica Biel acted well the part of Vera Miles. I remember Anthony Perkins from some of his '50's movies, and James D'Arcy looked very much like, and sounded very much like, Perkins himself. The scene of, in turn, again, the shower scene from "Psycho" was done well, loud and scary, and here also Hitchcock was authentic, being so obsessed and/or possessed. Yes, the cast was impressive. Again, an excellent biopic about the Master of Suspense and, simultaneously, an excellent brief account about the making of the movie "Psycho".

Well, that's a cool role for Mr. Anthony Hopkins! Super cool! And Helen Mirren is absolutely exceptional! A super actress! I always liked her, in all her movies, she was born to be an actress, she has a bright star in her head and a deep deep fire in her heart! I always liked Anthony Hopkins, except for the obvious role for money in "Transformers: The Last Knight". And follows Odin in "Thor: Ragnarok," they probably pay him terribly well to get involved in such productions... Hitchcock is one of my favorite directors, I love him and I admire him. And I wish I had a wife like Alma! Congratulations Sacha Gervasi!

and convincing in many scenes. because its ambition is high and Psycho making only a part. or pretext. in fact, it seems be the film of relationship between Hitchcock and his wife. and the presence of Anthony Hopkins and Hellen Mirren in the lead roles represents the best argument. in fact, it is a nuanced and seductive portrait of a great director . its sarcasm, its fragility, his universe, vulnerability, dark side and need of support, his childish reactions and his humanity are presented with a surprising science of detail. it is not exactly a homage. only, maybe, a kind of translation. to remind the roods of an admirable filmography. and Sir Anthony Hopkins remains the best choice for a credible Hitchcock.

I clicked open this film because I admire Alfred Hitchcock's fame and his work, but this is far more tedious than I anticipated. Alfred Hitchcock is indisputably a genius, and we are eagerly curious about his personal life, but it gives me the impression that it's rather boring and bereaved of any adventure or romance. Even though the film strives to exaggerate his love towards his creative and independent wife Alma, that obscure and plain love affair cannot support the legendary atmosphere fox company grants his films.Although I feel obliged to comment on Scarlet Johansson and James Darcy's acting skills, I barely seen any of their charms because all young actors are shaded under the glory of great Alfred Hitchcock, who according to Anthony Hopkin's depiction, is a pervert and self- centered wrinkled ball that breathes like a old bellow with tons of coal crumbs stuffed in it. Although I admire Alfred Hitchcock's talent, it doesn't interest me whether he keeps his swimming pool or have his reservation in a luxurious truffle from somewhere in Europe . They are fist world problems, and I have seen old artists sleeping on the street with newspapers as their blankets and granite as beds.In the shower scene Hitchcock was under the delusion that Janet was Whitfield, the knucklehead that had an affair with his wife. And the scene gave audience the impression that he was going to stab Janet, which gave the shower scene in Psycho an authentic texture. But you know, most people would at least confront Alma before murderous thoughts emerge, and the stress depicted caused by the imaginary affair in the movie is beyond the reasonable level. Failure of this emotional twist makes the whole film sort of artificial.I must click acclaim for the ending. That promotion manual is exciting, and the audience's reaction is palatable, and the spotlight around the red carpet lights up the mood just right. But when Sir Anthony Hopkins is seemingly directing waves of screaming, I hope they can remove that waiter from the background. His presence is really awkward. And probably a revolving shot would be better, in a more open and larger field, because that major highlight scene makes Hitchcock seems like a self-absorbed weirdo
