We don't have much more to say about "Hitchcock" around these parts. Greg Ellwood was mostly positive at the AFI Fest premiere. I was surprised at how much it's tale of an artist desperate to feel the spark of creativity again spoke to me. We've talked to star Helen Mirren and even dedicated some content to Hitchcock's own history at the Oscars. But now it's time to hear your thoughts on Sacha Gervasi's film, which makes its way to limited release today. So if you aren't too stuffed with Thanksgiving goodies, give us your take. And feel free to rate it above.
Kristopher Tapley has covered the film awards landscape for over a decade. He founded In Contention in 2005. His work has also appeared in The New York Times, The Times of London and Variety. He begs you not to take any of this too seriously.

November 23, 2012 at 12:01PM EST Reply to CommentI saw it last weekend after watching Rear Window and Psycho on the big screen. Maybe that wasn't such a good idea. I found it slight and not particularly consequential. I also didn't care for Hopkins as Hitch. His performance felt too big and felt off key. My favorite part of the movie was Mirren, I suppose. But overall, this won't rate as one my favorites for the year.

November 25, 2012 at 1:14AM EST Reply to CommentFun but not particularly notable. Felt derivative, and I'm not talking about the Psycho subject matter. It reminded me of a dozen other 'backstory' tales. It was good at that, but nothing I'll remember in five years.
