  Watching a Hitchcock film is rather like going to a play: you're constantly reminded that everything is just pretend. Even if the experience is great, it never quite makes you realize that the same things can happen to you, that people like these can plausibly exist in real life. But Vertigo feels startlingly true, almost confessional, because it's clear that it's Hitchcock's most personal film, the one that came closest to revealing his inner turmoil.

  Vertigo has a plot so convoluted that it's fully apparent that it's a mere set-up to get to the heart of the film: a chronicle of the protagonist Scottie's obsession. The film is also considerably sympathetic toward the two slighted women in Scottie's life: his…

  100/100

  A ghost story with no future, with the past lingering like green neon. Any beauty or hope is conveyed through surfaces and costumes, a look for desire and obsession fulfilled. If the crashing waves and towering trees greet our doomed lovers, then the bustling streets of modern culture - a world on the cusp of change - will reject it all until it's a mirage; haze evoked though aching memory and spectral shadows. The Greatest Film of All Time? You won't see me disagreeing.

  Review by demi adejuyigbe ★★★★ 20

  The first act of this film is slow and largely uninteresting, and I was shocked at how little the movie has to do with... vertigo. But when the second half kicks off, it gets terrific. Until the ending, which just made scream “...what?!” at the giant wall of Hollywood Forever Cemetery where it was projected. It genuinely felt like a scene was missing. Bad ending.

  Somehow always forget how much of this movie is designed to sincerely lull you into its fabricated romantic construction (and how much the use of color and movement keys you into every bit of psychological intrigue and emotional yearning in advance) before finally pulling one of the most iconic rugs of all time and transitioning into one of the most existentially harrowing depictions of obsession that’s ever been crafted. Ultimately a movie about a man so down bad for a fantasy that he kills the real thing just for one last moment with the fantasy. Probably the best movie. The colors on the 4K disc of this are to die for.

  alfred hitchcock managed to make a scene where the main character takes three steps on a 3 foot stepladder thats scarier than 90 percent of all horror movies
