rex W @RT11010153 Oct 18, 2026 Toby Jones played Hitchcock with a little too much hang-dog, woe-is-me attitude. I didn't see the great genius director. Also, Sienna Miller didn't do Tippi Hedren justice. She didn't convey a three-dimensional character. Maybe the script didn't give her enough to do. There is a good movie somewhere in there, but as it stands, it didn't work for me.

Hedren, portrayed with precision by Miller, remains resilient and engaging, making the behind-the-scenes story compelling, even if the payoff is somewhat elusive.

Seems like Hitchcock fans and producers of the schmaltzy 2012 hitchcock (same year) want this movie to disappear as it has a negative depiction of the fondly remembered director. I think it unlikely that there was nothing in the accusations of Tipi Hedren even if what she says are contradictory. It is unfortunate that contemporary culture is such that if impropriety is alleged then all the work of the artist is blacklisted. Gripping and more and more relevent post Weinstein/ me too. See more Sep 8, 2017 I really enjoyed this film. It really shows Alfred Hitchcock and his dark side. Sienna Miller also does a stunning performance as Tippi Hedren. I would totally watch it again. See more Jun 26, 2017 This film depicts Alfred Hitchcock's unhealthy obsession with a model he cast in the lead role of The Birds, Tippi Hedren. Toby Jones does a spot on job as Hitchcock, getting both the voice and the look right. Seanna Miller also does a great job as the increasingly fragile Tippi Hedren who suffers through Hitchcock's bullying to get the role of a lifetime. Unlike the other Hitchcock biopic starring Anthony Hopkins, this one paints Hitchcock it a much less favourable light, depicting him as a bully and sexual predator. How much is true with these biopics is always debatable but the film was entertaining and shocking. Worth seeing if you've ever enjoyed any of the man's films and a good comparison with the Anthony Hopkins version. See more Read all reviews
