Movie Reviews

Chicago Reader - 9/10 by Dave KehrShot in astonishingly elaborate long takes, this is the kind of film that finds the most brilliant poetry in the slightest movement of the camera—a paradigm of cinematic expression.
The Guardian - 8/10 by Joe WalshIf Under Capricorn is not Hitch's crowning glory, it is undeniably his most underrated film.
Slant Magazine - 8/10 by Jake ColeThough Under Capricorn’s dark and twisty narrative eventually unearths everyone’s secrets, it’s the swooning camera that most fully taps into the class and sexual tensions that consume the characters.
USA Today - 8/10 by Mike ClarkSlow, a mite predictable, and rather verbose, the film nevertheless has an elegance (thanks to long, sweeping takes) and a poignant romanticism that looks forward to Hitchcock's more pessimistic account of human relationships in Vertigo.
Empire - 6/10 by David ParkinsonThis has many more plus points than critics at the time were willing to admit.
The Telegraph - 6/10 by Antonia MalloyIt is an overlong, overlabored essay on the torments of conscience and love which Mr. Hitchcock has beautifully filmed in Technicolor but pointed in glaring blacks and whites.
The New Yorker - 4/10 by Pauline KaelUNDER CAPRICORN is talky and static, with little of Hitchcock's trademark suspense.
