Following his great success with "North by Northwest," director Alfred Hitchcock makes a daring choice for his next project: an adaptation of Robert Bloch's novel "Psycho." When the studio refuses to back the picture, Hitchcock decides to pay for it himself in exchange for a percentage of the profits. His wife, Alma Reville, has serious reservations about the film but supports him nonetheless. Still, the production strains the couple's marriage.

I really like the movie. It's probably not great but very intrigue and really make you wonder about Hitchcock movies.

"Hitchcock" is a very good bioepic about the master of suspense that really will gain the interest of any casual movie watcher. Alfred Hitchcock is played by Anthony Hopkins who does a very good job doing some mannerisms famous by the master of suspense. Helen Mirren also does an excellent job as Hitchcock's wife. The film focuses in the days leading to "Hitch" most popular film "Psycho" and the untold struggle that went behind the creation of it. With great acting and a very interesting story, "Hitchcock" is very good and entertaining film that is sure to keep anybody watching.

Good evening, Hitchcock is a disturbing and thrilling little tale of obsession gone awry. The film follows master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock as he searches for his next film project and runs across Psycho, but the experience takes its toll on Hitchcock and forces him to face his demons. While the story has been largely fictionalized, it’s still captivating and provides a fascinating view of filmmaking. Anthony Hopkins delivers a brilliant performance as Hitchcock, and is backed by a strong supporting cast that includes Scarlett Johansson, Michael Wincott, and Helen Mirren. The writing is also quite good, and cleverly inserts some Hitchcockian element into the film. Though Hitchcock is by no means a definitive telling of the making of Psycho, it’s a fantastic look at the culture of cinema.

Wow, i did not expected this 4Point-Ratings. I think the movie itself was great. Did i watch Psycho? Yeah, a couple of years ago, but i was not the generation that lived in Hitchcooks Marketing-Era. But that doesn't change the story about the Biopic and it's more interesting setting.

Sometimes i am annoyed by these biopics about a documentary in a movie about a movie within a movie-Stuff. BUT! This time this biopic does not take it to far.

Also Anthony Hopkins is just stunning great. He does not only wear a fatsuit. He does also perfectly imitates the little bit overweight Sir. And Helen Miren doe EXACTLY the same thing like her character: Most of the time she steps back and just come back when she is needed.

The best thing abour the movie is, it is not to long. It has a little bit more than the magical 90minutes-length, but it fits perfect.

One of the better Movies i saw in the last months.

8/10 -> Thumb up

An entertaining look at a time in Hitchcock's career when he was making the film Psycho, but rather than simply create an account of the ups-and-downs of the production, the filmmakers use this as a backdrop to focus on the relationship between Hitchcock and his wife. There is nothing particularly insightful that the film has to say, but the strength of the film is in the performances, especially Hopkins and Mirren and the interplay between these two characters is one of the highlights. There is also a lot of fun to be had in watching the recreation of moments from the production of one of Hitchcock's most iconic films, and Hopkins seems to be having a ball playing him - there is a wonderful moment near the end of the film of Hopkins in a cinema foyer gleefully orchestrating the screams of the audience inside. Worth a look.
