Dial M for Murder

I’ve never been so dialled in for a film that holds this kind of suspense, I mean it’s not a psychological thriller or a movie that kept me particularly on the edge of my seat, but it’s more so how the intrigue plays out troughs out the movie that keeps you in a suspenseful state. I found that to be such a nice concept. It’s a deeply complex and miraculously crafted piece, Hitchcock is in my opinion one of the only director that is able to create so much tension and keep you engaged in a movie primarily based in a small single location and minimal foundation. In particular in this film, I truly felt like each one of the pieces surrounding the characters held so much weight and importance to the story. Speaking of characters, John Williams as the Chief Inspector Hubbard is such a well played and executed character, but the best in my book is Tony ( Ray Milland ) ,perfectly crafted character, a cool calculated, sociopath that has the ability to create lie after lie when he's up against the wall and seeing him doing everything in his power to save himself again and again when things don’t work the way he planned, is such a great example of perfect craftsmanship mixed with really great acting execution. * I’d also like too put on the record that I loved* so much the trial scene, it is a truly memorable and mesmerizing sequence, the ending is smooth and elegant and in the end the movie really makes you feel like you’ve just watched an art piece more than anything else, it’s truly, in my honest opinion, a perfect film.
