Reviews

‘No one would ever accuse Alfred Hitchcock’s Shadow of a Doubt of being plausible, but it is framed so distinctively in the Hitchcock style that it plays firmly and never breaks out of the story.’
★★★★★
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

‘Like Lynch’s fever-dream of transcendental perversity Blue Velvet, Shadow of a Doubt is about awakening, the simultaneous darkening and enlarging of the world.’
★★★★★
Fernando Croce, Slant Magazine
