On surface level, Notorious doesn't feel too much like a standard Hitchcock film; the music score is understated, the suspense is so subtle that it only rises once in a while, and characters take almost too much precedence over story. But Notorious certainly looks…
RidaNov 15, 2024They kiss and whisper while he is on the telephone… there’s something special about the charm of old romance that I can’t explain, but it’s perfect

the mood for today is a hungover ingrid bergman telling cary grant he’s boring and then rolling over in bed to go back to sleep.
eelyMar 19, 2020This is the most complex relationship between two leads in an Hitchcock picture: spy and handler, misconceptions and magnatisms, delusions of morally superiority, manipulations and guilt, jealousies hidden and barbed. Cary Grant is a basically saying to Ingrid: please…
Channing PomeroyJan 19, 2025Now, look, I'm a Jimmy Stewart girlie through and through. However, I would like to take this opportunity to extend a formal apology to everyone I have ever shamed for finding Cary Grant attractive. I'm sorry, and I get it now.

This movie is probably famous for one scene in particular, and while the rest of the film kind of meanders a bit (I think you really need to be invested in the Cary Grant/Ingrid Bergman dynamic for it to work), that one scene really does make it worth it.
Platypus Lord likedNotoriousA very well-made, tense and suspense-filled spy thriller. Amazingly performed with interesting characters. I guess what brings it down is the romantic angle of the plot becomes a bit uncomfortable. Great ending shot. Well-directed with some memorable sequences (e.g. using the champagne in the…
William Luckenbach lovedNotoriousI was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Grant and Bergman did such phenomenal jobs portraying their characters that you can’t help but be completely enthralled. That’s not even to mention the spectacular b&w cinematography. Hitchcock really knew what he was doing. 9/10

Not my favorite from Hitchcock. It didn't have as much suspense as his other films, but still, I'm excited to check out more of his work. I can already see Ingrid Bergman becoming one of my favorite actresses, especially after this, Casablanca & Autumn Sonata.
Yelp likedNotorious“I’m making fun of myself, I’m pretending I’m a nice, un-spoiled child who’s heart is full of daisies and buttercups” “Nice daydream, and then what?”
Mickerdoo likedNotoriousNot my favorite Hitchcock but still good. Little too heavy on the romance. Stubborn couple in a high stake situation.

Metacritic
Bergman and Grant sizzle in this espionage tale written by Ben Hecht.
Marjorie Baumgarten
Austin Chronicle
The virtuoso sequences—the long kiss, the crane shot into the door key—are justly famous, yet the film's real brilliance is in its subtle and detailed portrayal of infinitely perverse relationships.
Dave Kehr
Chicago Reader
Alfred Hitchcock's Notorious is the most elegant expression of the master's visual style, just as Vertigo is the fullest expression of his obsessions.
