- 100Chicago ReaderDave KehrChicago ReaderDave KehrThe mise-en-scene tends toward a painterly abstraction, as Hitchcock employs powerful masses, blank colors, and studiously unreal, spatially distorted settings. Theme and technique meet on the highest level of film art.
- 90The New YorkerRichard BrodyThe New YorkerRichard BrodyPsychologically resonant, visually transcendent film.
- 80EmpireKim NewmanEmpireKim NewmanThis remains a compelling Hitchcock thriller but it's Tippi Hedron's remarkable central performance which steals the show.
- 80TV Guide MagazineTV Guide MagazineHitchcock's most liberated and poetic film, Marnie is a masterpiece of psychological mystery that encompasses all of the director's obsessions.
- At once a fascinating study of a sexual relationship and the master's most disappointing film in years.
- 60Time OutTime OutIt's as sour a vision of male-female interaction as Vertigo, though far less bleak and universal in its implications. That said, it's still thrilling to watch, lush, cool and oddly moving.
- 50LarsenOnFilmJosh LarsenLarsenOnFilmJosh LarsenThis is a crazed and lurid character portrait that spends most of its time psychoanalyzing itself.
- 50The A.V. ClubKeith PhippsThe A.V. ClubKeith PhippsIt's a must for those already enthralled by Rear Window, Vertigo, and the like, but a bit of a slog for anyone else.
