All member reviews for Vertigo

 
Beautiful and dark.
Brilliant, although not for kids - the actual content is all PG-rated, but the film has an intensely dark atmosphere and the themes of obsession would probably go over their heads. OK for mature, smart older kids.

Brilliant!
Alfred Hitchcock is definitely an amazing man. His movie Vertigo is indeed to be remembered as a classic. This movie is not very violent if at all, and despite some intense moments and high suspense, Vertigo is a highly recommended movie. Enjoy the twists.

A great, convincing movie.
This is a great movie. WATCH IT! The plot is about a detective called to investigate strange behaviors of a woman who seems possessed. One of my favorite movies ever! If your over 12--it's a great movie. If you're under 12, you might not understand parts.

Overrated
Vertigo was boring, confusing, and mostly dumb. The first half was okay, but the rest is pointless and wanders without a definite plot. It had little objectionable material besides being a bit disturbing or intense, but kids and many adults will fall asleep quickly. Probably Alfred Hitchcock's worst movie.

cool movie, but dont get me wrong: It isn't the total suspensful Hitchcock perfection I was expecting to see :(
what I mean by "not perfect" is I would expect a lot less sloppy of a movie, coming from a producer like Alfred Hitchcock. It was good. I think it would have been a whole lot better without the mushy gushy and I know thats immature for someone of my age, but I have to say that the movie was good until after the death, and then the movie started to seriously fall apart and fail. If I hadn't intended on writing this review, and I was in a movie theater, I'd have left the theater. But I also know that given the idea I couldn't have done better myself. But hey, I'm a critic, so that gives me rights? LOL Anyways it is a little viloent (a woman and a man fall from a rooftop and die) and there is sex (A LOT of making out). And it will give you nightmeres, I gurantee you that.

Complicated but rewarding
No blood or gore being a psychological thriller, but it can get really weird and complex. The acting is great, and so is the climax of the film, it definitely keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Engaging and Brilliant!
This is a great movie! It is engaging, thoughtful, and features great acting, a great score, and brilliant direction on the part of Alfred Hitchcock. There are some mature thematic elements (deceit, murder, obsession, etc.) and some intense, disturbing images (a woman trying to commit suicide, a woman falling off a belltower, etc).

A Beautiful Hitchcock Masterpiece
This late 50's Hitchcock film is truly a beautiful piece of movie history. This thrilling masterpiece is like a magnificent piece of art that only the great Hitchcock could make. But this film may contain some material that may disturb younger children, and is a bit lengthy which kids may get a bored toward the middle of the film.

My favorite Hitchcock movie

 
13+ Seems Ok.
I don't think the matter at hand with Vertigo is appropriateness, but rather how much your kids will be able to follow... the plot is a bit convoluted. A mature 13-year-old will be able to grasp it, albeit not the incredible, Hitchcockian Freudian undertones and subtleties, but the gist of the film itself.
