Suspicion Ratings & Reviews
- Michael FosterMarch 21, 2025Hitchcock really earns his metals the more you watch of his filmography. This slow burn thriller carefully leaves breadcrumbs of an ending he envisioned but wasn’t allowed to make. To get around the studio’s restrictions he used techniques and choices of mere suggestion to make you think twice— which only reinforces the film’s title ‘Suspicion’ along with further proving he is indeed the undeniable Master of Suspense.
- Christopher PucknellJune 23, 2025Not my favourite Hitchcock by a long shot, though there were some interesting moments. Not that I'm an expert on the period, but having a Female perspective of an abuser (or is he?), on film, in the 40's, that seems like something quite special. The film has plenty of flaws, the plot isn't great, and it quickly falls into obscurity following Hitchcock's later masterpieces, but the setting, the period, the female protagonist, and some of the effects in dramatic sequences make this an interesting watch.
