Dial M for Misfire.

Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson Oct 17, 2024 4/5
The film balances its darkness with its cheekiness extremely well. The drama never swings too deep and the comedy never turns farcical.

Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Sep 21, 2022 2.5/4
The acting is top-notch all around, but Gervasi’s treatment makes one want to pick up a Hitchcock biography instead.

Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Dec 1, 2020 8/10
Most closely resembling a romantic comedy, the film's tone keeps the proceedings consistently entertaining, but also prevents intrusion of any serious drama.

Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Sep 10, 2020 3.5/4.0
As marvelous as is Hopkins, the film simply wouldn't be the same without the presence of Helen Mirren as Hitchcock's longtime companion Alma Reville.

As it turns out, few of the remarkable filmmaker's most interesting concerns or characteristics manage to break their way into Hitchcock.

Hitchcock may have right intentions in mind but not the best execution.

Kelly Jane Torrance Washington Examiner Dec 19, 2018 1.5/4
His obsessive nature is one of the things that makes Hitchcock such a mysterious figure. But we don't learn anything about what made him tick here.

What's ironic is that Psycho was such a radical, cinematographically novel film, but Gervasi is completely unable to find a meta-referential way of honouring that.

Even if you've never seen a Hitchcock film in your life, it's worth seeing for the performances alone.

If you're interested in Hitchcock's domestic life, this film is for you. But don't expect to learn much about the man in the director's chair.

Deborah Ross The Spectator Sep 4, 2018
Would have been much better off if it had taken a moment to sit down and decide on its own sensibility... It might have settled on the one, and retained its focus. But it didn't, so it doesn't, and it tells us nothing.

It's insulting to the Hitchcocks and to the audience.

Alexa Dalby Dog and Wolf Aug 27, 2018 3/5
A slimly plotted, rather shallow film about an important director that barely shows him directing.

Joseph Walsh CineVue Aug 23, 2018 2/5
The plot trundles along in a homely way... but never generates anything truly remarkable.

It is not profound or even particularly truthful, but I found it pretty fun to watch.

Jordan Riefe Celebuzz Aug 21, 2018
An occasionally enjoyable, though uneven look, at the making of Psycho... Hitchcock is most engaging when Hopkins and Mirren share the screen as a durable old couple straining under 33 years of marriage.

Hitchcock does noteworthy disservices to the master.

Josh Terry Deseret News (Salt Lake City) Nov 29, 2017
Watching Hitchcock pitch his story to the press and bicker with executives and censors is amusing and sobering at the same time,

Jo Berry The National (UAE) Nov 20, 2017 2/5
Anyone wanting to learn about the real Hitchcock will be disappointed - although Hopkins does get a gold star for a tongue-in-cheek impersonation of Alfred.
