darlene r That ending! Didnt expect that. Otherwise loved the acting and the location shots. Very interesting story Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/15/24 Full Review Max W 1950s San Francisco looked like heaven on earth Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/09/25 Full Review Insomniac X Ponderous mystery-melodrama just can't seem to get off the ground. San Francisco locations and a majestic score by Bernard Herrmann are not enough to overcome a lackluster plot and questionable acting. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/25 Full Review Birithivy Y Vertigo - 10/10. Considering the studio is considering a remake with RDJ, I decided to rewatch Vertigo after ages. And damn does this movie hold up oh so well. First off, I don't think people talk about this movie's cinematography as much as they should. The colours are vibrant and so distinct, and Hitchcock has made his cinematographer capture California in such a beautiful airy glow. This movie delves into a man's obsession. It's interesting, because Hitchcock worries more about how it happens than the effects of it. Its slowly taking over Stewart's character, and we see as the movie runs along, the poor man being stricken with a love that ends up taking over his life. Its not a fast paced thriller, but one that grows more tense and more interesting with every minute passing. An all time classic, that DOESN'T need to be remade! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/25 Full Review Kevin P A thrilling psychological thriller from Alfred Hitchcock that hooks you with its engaging noir mysteries unraveling with so many legitimately surprising dark twists and turns and some intriguing commentary on mental health that feel mostly ahead of its time. The thoughtful visual cues of the color red and green were cleverly implemented along with a mesmerizing score by Bernard Hermann and some excellent performances by Jimmy Stewart and the rest of the cast (Midge’s characterization and performance felt refreshingly realistic for a female character that isn’t an outright love interest and can casually command the room). There are some beautifully visually stunning art sequences with the vertigo dreams as well as a really hypnotic dream-like feel to the whole movie with the alleged possession scene. The ending was a bit rushed with some questionable conclusions about gender roles and could’ve used one last epilogue, but everything else is expertly crafted as easily one of Alfred Hitchcock’s best works. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/25 Full Review Nol P Take any great movie of the past. Vertigo as just 1 single example. There has been almost zero movies since 2019 that are even close to as good as any classics of the past! Most movies are only time fillers now and most of which I want my time back! Joker and Top Gun Maverick are only 2 more recent entries I can come up with that achieved a rare 10 out of 10 score! I have yet to see Oppenheimer still as per so super long (but on my short list to see still) and Barbie received a super solid 8.5! Agree? You must! The amount of sequels and lack of new ideas is only PATHETIC! Vertigo is yet another timeless classic from the great mind of Alfred Hitchcock!
