Hitchcock/Truffaut Ratings & Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Tina Hassannia
Despite its historical subject, "Hitchcock/Truffaut" adeptly proves the timelessness of cinema.
The Atlantic
David Sims
Jones has laid enough of a foundation on Hitchcock's style that viewers can watch one of cinema's most famous moments with fresh eyes.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Lloyd
It brings the pages to life with clips and photos and the sound of the directors talking seriously and less seriously.
Wall Street Journal
Nancy DeWolf Smith
Pretension is always with us, but the documentary's main effect will surely be to make you want to see Hitchcock's films (including the marvel that is Marnie) all over again.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
Cinema is a discussion, a process of learning from one filmmaker and teaching to the next, and in that wonderful way, 'Hitchcock/Truffaut' isn't just about that book. It is that book.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
The material begs for a much longer consideration than the film's trim 79 minutes, but it's still a must-watch for serious film fans.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
An engaging film.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
Anytime you get smart and accomplished filmmakers talking about film, theory and their respective styles, the results are rewarding.
San Diego Reader
Scott Marks
You won't have a merrier time at the movies this holiday season.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
The two men come alive (responses that seemed dry or diffident on paper are tinged with humor, with audacity, even), and so, too, do the images.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
The meeting of the two men becomes increasingly fruitful, and there's the sense of a private genius finally allowing himself to tip his hand.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
In an age in which celebrity gossip and page views trump all, hearing two masters talk intelligently about movies and how they're made is, if nothing else, a welcome treat.
Washington Post
Mark Jenkins
If the documentary concentrates on the mechanical aspects of filmmaking, that's clearly because it was Hitchcock's preference.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
"Hitchcock/Truffaut" gets a lot done in only 79 minutes.
The Playlist
Jessica Kiang
Hitchcock is essential; Truffaut is essential; the book is essential; Kent Jones' "Hitchcock/Truffaut" is not quite so, but it's a very enjoyable appendix.
Film Comment Magazine
Jonathan Romney
The contributions are generally illuminating; it's always fun hearing Scorsese warm to a topic (you really feel Hitchcock is an element he swims in like a seal).
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Use this documentary as an introduction to the book, then use the book, like a Christmas catalog, to order up viewings, or re-viewings, of Hitchcock's deliciously, diabolically deathless films.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Kent Jones' doc on the groundbreaking interview book gets you drunk on Hitchcock's films again. Nirvana for movie lovers.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
This is a jewel box of a movie for anyone who loves either Hitchcock or Truffaut-or better yet, both.
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
Hitchcock/Truffaut packs plenty of cogent observations into a modest package, but avoids turning into a Cliff's Notes version of the book, instead using it and its history as a jumping-off point for new insights.
