The more I watch this film, the more I come to appreciate it. (Yes I know I literally said that about Vertigo yesterday but I DONT CARE🤬🤬) Just an absolutely stunning film all around with an amazing cast, absolute classic. Love Ripely so much as a character too :-)

You know what, despite the blatant male gazey-ness of this film, I have to bump it an extra half star due to how much I really appreciate this film. On my first watch (late 2024, oh how I wish I had Letterboxd then,,) I rented it on YouTube and watched it on my phone … (I’m sorry Christopher Nolan please don’t come for my family) Back then, the earliest film I had watched was *Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory, *so this film was my first proper introduction to Classic Hollywood, and what an introduction it was! I got into Hitchcock as a director and James Stewart as an actor, leading me to discover some of my favourite films of all time! I think if I was to tell you my favourite scene in the entire film, it would have to be the final scene, I won’t spoil it here but James Stewart and Kim Novak were absolutely amazing here, and the dolly zoom literally changed my life LOL Overall I heavily recommend this film, one of Hitchcock’s best!!

Genuinely felt like I was at a concert at some points!! Michael Jackson will return in avengers !!!!

I like how much research Robert Eggers does for his films, makes it much more realistic and scary in my opinion, pretty good film! Excited to see some more of his filmography
