Vertigo Ratings & Reviews
Filmspotting
Adam Kempenaar
Once it switches over to us getting inside her head... I started seeing it more as Judy's story than Scottie's.
InSession Film
Zita Short
Novak feels like she was left out to dry by Hitchcock as he spent far more time paying attention to the location of the brooch on her lapel than he spent instructing her on how to convey her character's emotions.
The Hollywood Reporter
Jack Moffitt
Alfred Hitchcock tops his own fabulous record for suspense with Vertigo, a super-tale of murder, madness and mysticism that stars James Stewart and Kim Novak.
New York Post
Archer Winsten
It's doubtful that Vertigo can take equal rank with the best of the Hitchcock studies -- it has too many holes -- but it assays high in visual confectionary of place, person and celluloid wiles.
New York Daily News
Wanda Hale
Alfred Hitchcock's "Vertigo" is an artistic triumph for the master of mystery.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
It's as much a wonder of suspense as it is a catalogue of the director's themes and an allegory for his own art of enticement-and for the erotic pitfalls of his métier.
Slant Magazine
Bill Weber
Hitchcock's rich and strange fable of love lost, and lost again, makes the case for him as a grand experimental artist who labored in genre cinema.
TIME Magazine
The old master, now a slave to television, has turned out another Hitchcock-and-bull story in which the mystery is not so much who done it as who cares.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
One of the landmarks -- not merely of the movies, but of 20th-century art.
Newsweek
David Ansen
Why is this movie Hitchcock's masterpiece? Because no movie plunges us more deeply into the dizzying heart of erotic obsession.
Variety
Variety Staff
James Stewart, on camera almost constantly, comes through with a startlingly fine performance as the lawyer-cop who suffers from acrophobia.
USA Today
Mike Clark
You watch this guy going slowly over the brink and realize, good grief, this is Jimmy Stewart.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Stack
In its dark heart, the film is a sorrowful contemplation of love and the veils that manipulate sexual passions.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Do yourself an aesthetic favor: Take the plunge.
Houston Chronicle
Jeff Millar
There is a glumness to the film that is notably missing from the director's other films of the period.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
There! No more hints! Coming or not? What more's to say? Well, nothing, except that Vertigo is performed in the manner expected of all performers in Hitchcock films.
Film.com
Robert Horton
One of the things that still amazes me about this movie is the way its study of obsession is so single-minded.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
The lure of death, the power of the past, the guilty complicity of a clean-cut hero, the near-fetishistic use of symbol and color: these Hitchcock hallmarks are all mesmerizingly on view.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Vertigo stands as one of the thrill master's most psychologically dense and twisted works in which obsession, commitment, and dual identities all merge to create a voluptuous tale of thwarted love.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
It is about how Hitchcock used, feared and tried to control women.
