An entertaining look at a time in Hitchcock's career when he was making the film Psycho, but rather than simply create an account of the ups-and-downs of the production, the filmmakers use this as a backdrop to focus on the relationship between Hitchcock and his wife. There is nothing particularly insightful that the film has to say, but the strength of the film is in the performances, especially Hopkins and Mirren and the interplay between these two characters is one of the highlights. There is also a lot of fun to be had in watching the recreation of moments from the production of one of Hitchcock's most iconic films, and Hopkins seems to be having a ball playing him - there is a wonderful moment near the end of the film of Hopkins in a cinema foyer gleefully orchestrating the screams of the audience inside. Worth a look.
