Absolutely the worst movie.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
A San Francisco detective suffering from acrophobia investigates the strange activities of an old friend's wife, all the while becoming dangerously obsessed with her. Despite it's styligh direction and Hitchcock's "mad" eye on making something beautiful but also very well written and watchable 'Vertigo' is missing on the suspense level and that's disappointing because especially on the department of acting and cinematography the movie is just beautiful looking but it takes alot of time to get where it wants and the ending was very meh. (5/10)
An incredible perfect blend of background music, camera work, fascinating story, acting, suspense, and mesmerizing romance.
On second viewing, there were a lot of great things that I hadn't noticed the first time around; subtle clues of the twists to come, being able to view the film while knowing the inevitable outcome adds a new level of tragedy to the events of the film for the viewer. While I may have romanticised this film in my head after my first viewing years ago, I believe it is still an absolute masterpiece, and a good starting point for my proceeding journey into the best of cinema.
This movie seems illogical from many perspectives. I normally skip not a single second of a movie except in the case of this one. It contains some random characters, nearly no story, top to bottom poor in terms of logic. It felt like let abandon watching this movie after 2/3. But quickly thought to add another count to my watched movies list. However, disappointed by the high rating.
