What makes it different from others?

Disturbing yet enthralling

Crappy film

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

This movie is underrated I think. Most people look to Rear Window or Psycho but this is a gem that is passed over too often.

Vertigo directed by Alfred Hitchcock is a crime drama which surrounds one retired detective who is asked to take on one last task. The task is to follow his college friend's wife due to her recent bizarre behaviour. And from that point the audience is taken on such a captivating and unexpected journey. Vertigo is simply incredible. Everything in the film is still outstanding. The cinematography, music, acting and script are some of the best ever. What I love particularly is how unpredictable it is. The movie takes such incredible turns, which really compels the audience even further. The sinister tone of the movie is so magnetic, as the feelings and emotions remain with you beyond the credits. The film ends with such a high, confirming why it is one of the most memorable movie experiences in history. My only issue is the first act, which at times can feel quite slow due to that fact that audience doesn't have that emotional attachment to the characters and story yet. Although the film progresses and builds brilliantly. Vertigo will forever be timeless so therefore I give it a 9.

What are these unrealistic characters, and why is this man so obsessed with the woman. There's no foundation for being so crazy about her, it just happens out of nowhere, and it's almost as if the story wants to portray how manipulative women are. Or maybe this man just never understood how much she troed to get away from him without being able to succeed due to her fragility.

Watching this movie in 2018 for the first time,i can say i find it pretty average.Its hard for me to review this movie in 1950s standarts as I'm only 23 years old.The acting is good and Kim Novak is simply an angel.The scenes with James Stewart following Kim with his car are too LONG.At some point it gets pretty boring.Also It shouldnt be that hard to realize that Judy is actually the same women he fell in love and thought she died.I mean she only changed her hair,c'mon.But I guess It's normal when you think with that decade's innocence.The music in the movie is also average when you compare it with Hitchcock's other movie Psycho.
