As close to 'perfect' as a film is likely to get.

a taut and (verbally) jaunty thriller
July 29, 2008
...the film surely remains one of the most memorable and downright essential examples of the slow-burn thriller genre.

Hitchcock masterpiece stars peeping Jimmy Stewart.

The deliciousness of watching the film as it's intended to be seen is that the big screen gives Rear Window back its claustrophobia.

Beneath pointed dialogue, perceptive character development and tense plot twists, the movie plays like a breakpoint in our journey towards complete voyeurism.

Don't resist the urge -- steal a peek at it now, and be reminded why Hitchcock is still without equal in the clammy thrills department.

Just possibly the second most entertaining picture (after The 39 Steps) ever made by Alfred Hitchcock.
May 29, 2010
In this brilliant movie about watching the neighbors, Alfred Hitchcock turns the lens on his audience. "We have become a race of Peeping Toms," notes one character not only commenting on Jeff's obsessive voyeurism but also that of the cinematic spectator.

Of all Hitchcock's films, this is the one which most reveals the man.

Restored to its original Technicolor grandeur!

It's one of Alfred Hitchcock's inspired audience-participation films: watching it, you feel titillated, horrified, and, ultimately, purged.
