Not my favorite Hitchcock, but there are some stunning shots here. I can get why so many beloved directors love this one.
Great and beautiful. Nice story and script with a good material. By the way it's Hitchcock movies....
A beautifully shot film with an incredible score and one of the best endings in all of cinema
It was a good movie but not my favorite, amazing use of color, cinematography, mirrors, rooms, and doors.
A lot of following a woman around, then a confusing and rushed ending. But the vibes and poignant message are there
Hitchcock at best!! Stewart at best!! Anybody says '50s movies are boring, they did not see this. Gripping!!
A mesmerising psychological thriller that stands as one of cinema's all time greats. Each time you watch it, Vertigo takes on a new meaning
A great classic, though I don’t normally watch a mystery more than once, I’d make an exception with vertigo. It’s a Hitchcock masterpiece.
Love is but a shallow word in this film. Its a really complex ride, and no, the main is not obsessed, he is suspicious, as he should be…
One of the best thrillers ever made. (Romantic thriller would probably best describe it.) Beautifully composed.
