Play Misty for Me Ratings & Reviews
TIME Magazine
Jay Cocks
Eastwood displays a vigorous talent for sequences of violence and tension. He has obviously seen Psycho and Repulsion more than once, but those are excellent texts and he has learned his lessons passing well.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Eastwood's camera is rarely misplaced, and he shows a talent for the thriller genre worthy of a comparison to Hitchcock.
TV Guide
TV Guide Staff
Much of the credit must go to Jessica Walter for her outstanding performance which somehow manages to be chilling while at the same time sympathetic.
Variety
Variety Staff
For that 80% of the film which constitutes the story, the structure and dialog create a mood of nervous terror which the other 20% nearly blows away.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Clint Eastwood wisely chose a strong, simple thriller for his first film as a director, and the project is remarkable in its self-effacing dedication to getting the craft right.

Eastwood's imperfect debut movie is a thiller full of personality and zest.
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
Clint's direction is sometimes shaky but usually assured, and he gets a bold performance from Jessica Walter.
Panorama
Jean-François Vandeuren
Un suspense qui profita abondamment de la largesse d'esprit du cinma amricain de l'poque, peut-tre mme un peu trop...
Nolan's Pop Culture Review
Michael A. Smith
Early Clint behind the camera shows the promise to come.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
There is no purpose to a suspense thriller, I suppose, except to involve us, scare us, to give us moments of vicarious terror. Play Misty for Me does that with an almost cruel efficiency.
Kansas City Kansan
Steve Crum
Still quite effective stalker-thriller, has dated somewhat
Kalamazoo Gazette
James Sanford
Early, effective version of 'Fatal Attraction' theme
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
For his directorial debut, Clint Eastwood opted to make this relatively straightforward but hopelessly dated Fatal Attraction clone (er, precursor).
Lawrence Journal-World
Jon Niccum
Terrific tale of romantic obsession that pre-dated Fatal Attraction
New York Times
Roger Greenspun
I think the fault lies with Clint Eastwood the director, who has made too many easy decisions about events, about the management of atmosphere, about the treatment of performances.
