Leticia FernandesJun 9, 2014Watching a Hitchcock film is rather like going to a play: you're constantly reminded that everything is just pretend. Even if the experience is great, it never quite makes you realize that the same things can happen to you, that people like these can plausibly exist in real…

•lily•Aug 27, 2021Somehow always forget how much of this movie is designed to sincerely and hypnotically lull you into its fabricated romantic construction (and how much the psychedelic use of color and fluid movement/momentum keys you into every bit of psychological intrigue and emotional…

yellowtruckJul 16, 2016100/100 A ghost story with no future, with the past lingering like green neon. Any beauty or hope is conveyed through surfaces and costumes, a look for desire and obsession fulfilled. If the crashing waves and towering trees greet our doomed lovers, then the bustling…
SilentDawnJul 1, 2018The first act of this film is slow and largely uninteresting, and I was shocked at how little the movie has to do with... vertigo. But when the second half kicks off, it gets terrific. Until the ending, which just made scream “...what?!” at the giant wall of Hollywood…

The only Hitchcock film that has ever left me feeling bored and unmoved. As a diehard Jimmy Stewart fan I was disappointed. The male gaze can die.

PJ Suttles lovedVertigoWow… I’ve never seen a film so beautiful in my life. Despite Hitchcock having a shameful gaze on women, this was something that the audience was not ready to see at the time of release. I can say that this film is the greatest film I’ve ever watched and I will watch again. 10/10
- Jennifer Facenda likedVertigo
I was such a bad high school student: Literally over 4 years ago we played this Bernard Herrmann suite in symphony and I never bothered to watch the movie (until now) or even learn the plot. Whoops. But in my defense the plot is very confusing. Epic soundtrack though.
Sabrina Bondi likedVertigoIt’s doubtful that Vertigo can take equal rank with the best of the Hitchcock studies, it has too many holes, but it assays high in visual confectionary of place, person and celluloid wiles.

Metacritic
Vertigo remains something less than a foolproof psychological spellbinder and agonizer. It's compulsively watchable and stylish, but the obsessive and delirious moods seem to exist apart from the creaky plot, which fails to convince one of the nature of the conspiracy that entraps Stewart's character in the first place or of the follow-up system of coincidence that eventually drives him up the fateful bell tower. [10 March 1984, p.G1]
Gary Arnold
Washington Post
Judged strictly as a movie (especially a subliminally disturbing movie), Vertigo hasn't lost a thing. You watch this guy going slowly over the brink and realize, good grief, this is Jimmy Stewart. [Restored version; Oct 1996, p.3D]
Mike Clark
USA Today
An audacious, brilliantly twisted movie, infused with touches of genius and of madness. A disturbing meditation on the interconnected nature of love and obsession disguised as a penny dreadful shocker. [13 Oct 1996, p.C5]
