Film review: Hitchcock

If you've ever seen the timeless masterpieces of Alfred Hitchcock (for example, Psycho, The Birds, The Trouble with Harry, Rear Window, Lifeboat, etc.) then you know his unique style, and his talent for suspense. This movie is about the making of the seemingly doomed Psycho, as well as an in-depth look at the man who made it and the woman by his side. Anthony Hopkins is unrecognizable; he disappears and Hitchcock is the only man you can see. Helen Mirren is wonderful as his wife Alma, and their relationship is tested as Hitch is distracted by pressure from the people around him who have no faith in his ambitious picture.

I did not know much about Alfred Hitchcock, so this movie was a very interesting look into the life of the father of horror. It made me want to watch the original Psycho again. I definitely recommend this film for people who love the history of movies or just want to watch something interesting and splendid for a night.
