Review of Hitchcock (2012) by Desassossego — 22 Dec 2017
Hitchcock has some tonal inconsistencies and it doesn't really offer the development some would expect on a historical and biographical level that the trailer and the marketing campaign may have promised. Still, it's a far superior movie than I expected.
It takes some creative liberties with the real events, and focuses some themes that I wasn't really prepared for, and all that risk ends up being rewarded in a movie that gave me some entertainment and pleasure as a viewer.
In the end, even if you don't necessarily agree with my last paragraph, the movie is still relevant due to the amazing work of its two leads: Hopkins and Mirren.
Mirren, however, is the one who really shines and steals every single scene she's in.
