Reviews (1) Write a reviewFelt more like an HBO mini-series, rather than a full theatrical piece. Director Sacha Gervasi does a great job at framing the picture in a "Hitchcockian" way, but it takes Anthony Hopkins the full length of the movie before he finds the same pace. Scarlett Johansson is the stand out here, with a fantastic portrayal of Janet Leigh. While the chemistry between Hopkins and Hellen Mirren is undeniable, it would have served the picture better if it focused more on the making of Psycho and less on the drama between Hitchcock and his wife.
