Family Plot Ratings & Reviews
TIME Magazine
TIME Staff
Out of respect for Hitchcock's stature, and his years, Family Plot should be considered as fleetingly as possible.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
[A] small masterpiece, one of Hitchcock's most adventurous and expressive experiments in narrative form.
Los Angeles Free Press
Jacoba Atlas
The movie is a gentle trifle, a pleasant diversion from a man who knows what he's doing every step of the way.
The New York Review of Books
Michael Wood
The best movie Hitchcock has made since North by Northwest.
Classic Film and Television
Michael E. Grost
Inventive, often underrated thriller.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
A rolling boil of sex and violence beneath the bland surfaces of suburban placidity.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Rumsey Taylor
As the impromptu coda to not only Hitchcock's fifty-year career but also his critically disharmonious late period, which finds some of his most political and under-appreciated work, Family Plot concludes ingeniously, with a wink.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Hitchcock's last (53rd) film is a post-modern, self-reflexive work, which deserves a more serious look and better grade than granted by many critics.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It's the perfect crime picture.
Variety
Variety Staff
Family Plot is a dazzling achievement for Alfred Hitchcock masterfully controlling shifts from comedy to drama throughout a highly complex plot.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
It's not exactly top-tier Hitchcock, but it features enough good stuff to make it at least worth one viewing.
Slant Magazine
Dan Callahan
It's a movie that's haunted by death, with lengthy sequences played out in cemeteries.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Hitchcock has a deviously complicated tale to tell, and he's going to tell it with labyrinthine detail, and he's not going to cheat.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
An Alfred Hitchcock thriller with many interesting things happening in the movie's small places
New York Times
Vincent Canby
Not since To Catch a Thief and The Trouble With Harry has Alfred Hitchcock been in such benign good humor as he is in Family Plot, the old master's 56th feature since he began directing films in 1922.
