Movie Reviews

Empire - 10/10 by Kim NewmanFlawless, essential viewing that would earn more than its five stars if only Empire would allow it.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 10/10 by Ken HankeAs close to 'perfect' as a film is likely to get.
Rolling Stone - 10/10 by Peter TraversThe film leaps off the screen with a thrilling immediacy.
The New York Times - 10/10 by Vincent CanbyAs much as I admire all of these, especially "Vertigo," I can't imagine that any one of them will top the feelings of exhilaration that are prompted by Rear Window, this most bittersweet of Hitchcockian suspense-romances. Make no mistake about it: Rear Window is as much of a romance as it is a brilliant exercise in suspense.
Variety - 10/10 by William BrogdonHitchcock confines all of the action to this single setting and draws the nerves to the snapping point in developing the thriller phases of the plot. He is just as skilled in making use of lighter touches in either dialog or situation to relieve the tension when it nears the unbearable. Interest never wavers during the 112 minutes of footage.
New Yorker - 10/10 by Michael SragowIt's one of Alfred Hitchcock's inspired audience-participation films: watching it, you feel titillated, horrified, and, ultimately, purged.
ReelViews - 10/10 by James BerardinelliSimply put, Rear Window is a great film, perhaps one of the finest ever committed to celluloid. All of the elements are perfect (or nearly so), including the acting, script, camerawork, music (by Franz Waxman), and, of course, direction. The brilliance of the movie is that, in addition to keeping viewers on the edges of their seats, it involves us in the lives of all of the characters, from Jefferies and Lisa to Miss Torso. There isn't a moment of waste in 113 minutes of screen time.
The A.V. Club - 10/10 by Scott TobiasIn its perfect fusion of popular entertainment and high art, Rear Window ranks among Hitchcock's best.
Chicago Reader - 10/10 by Dave KehrThe most densely allegorical of Alfred Hitchcock's masterpieces (1954), moving from psychology to morality to formal concerns and finally to the theological. It is also Hitchcock's most innovative film in terms of narrative technique, discarding a linear story line in favor of thematically related incidents, linked only by the powerful sense of real time created by the lighting effects and the revolutionary ambient sound track.
Chicago Reader - 10/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumPerhaps Alfred Hitchcock's greatest movie.
