Hitchcock

This did nothing for me. It’s not bad. There’s nothing wrong with it. But there are no real stakes. Hitchcock is the master at the beginning and the master at the end. The script tries to inflate the notion that Hitchcock was worried his wife might be having an affair, but that doesn’t play out in any kind of dramatic or compelling way. So it’s a nice piece of history, but ironically there’s no suspense. The HBO movie about Tippi Hedron, The Girl, was much better.
