Hitchcock
Story:
Chronicling the making of Psycho, this chronicles the events that took place during the making of the famous film.
Review:
Hitchcock would be a better film if it was focused on Alfred Hitchcock and not his wife Alma. As such, the title is not only misleading but also detracts from the story itself.
What I liked the most:
1. Anthony Hopkins as Alfred Hitchcock. He's brilliant and uniquely unusual in the title role. I loved how he walked around in the fat suit while wearing a dignified air of supreme knowledge.
What I liked least:
1. Focuses more on Alma Reville than Alfred Hitchcock.
This is a big problem in the film. It was nice seeing Alfred Hitchcock in a big chunk of the scenes, but the story itself focuses more on Alma Reville. It was a tasteless and tactless move on the parts of the filmmakers.
2. Lack of emotional output.
Instead of actual emotional development. We see some small emotional outbursts from Hitchcock. That's it. Most of this film is comical in origin.
Who I recommend Hitchcock to:
No one.
