Phenomenal.
“Tell me everything you saw—and what you think it means.”
A story about the stories that we make up ourselves. Hitchcock draws us in to Jeff’s idle speculation-turned-murder accusation by tapping into our natural curiosity for the people around us. I was especially struck by the characters who aren’t the focus of the main plot, and the way my mind constructed whole narratives for them with only small suggestions of what might be happening off-screen behind drawn shades—exactly the same…

This is a really amazing movie that really hates women. Almost as much as Mark Zuckerberg does.
Also, Andrew Garfield absolutely stole the show here.
