Review of Rear Window

Rear Window (1954)
10/10
Hitchcock at his finest.
30 March 2019
This movie has you on the edge of your seat with every little thing that plays on. It's chilling and thrilling in every scene and towards the end you are uncertain of what will happen to the protagonists. Hitchcock's genius is shown in the film every time the camera turns. It's the illusion of voyeurism that keeps us watching. The ability to see what happens without being seen. You start to care about the characters as soon as the film starts. Marriage is the theme overshadowed by murder. James Stewart's finest performance if you ask me and the captivating Grace Kelly as beautiful as ever. This movie is 65 years old, but if you watched the movie without knowing the date of the release, you wouldn't think of it to be older than 10 years old. It has stand the test of time again and again and it has come out victorious. I guess what I am really saying is...if you haven't watched it yet--what have you been doing?
