The Atlantic
3.5 stars out of 4 -- From The 39 STEPS AND THE LODGER to REAR WINDOW, PSYCHO and all stops in between, this film gets us drunk on Hitchcock's movies again.
Rolling Stone
It brings the pages to life with clips and photos and the sound of the directors talking seriously and less seriously.

Los Angeles Times
It’s a film that reminds us that filmmakers, whether or not they’re expert at discussing their own work, really let their critical and analytical imaginations flow when they get talking about the work of a director they really admire.
Film Comment
Smart, thoughtful and elegantly done, HITCHCOCK/TRUFFAUT is more than an authoritative look at the careers and interpersonal dynamics of directors Alfred Hitchcock and Francois Truffaut, a pair of unlikely soul mates...
Los Angeles Times
Pretension is always with us, but the documentary's main effect will surely be to make you want to see Hitchcock's films (including the marvel that is Marnie) all over again.

Product Description:
Filmmakers discuss the tremendous impact of François Truffaut's 1966 book "HITCHCOCK/TRUFFAUT," in which Alfred Hitchcock painstakingly detailed his directorial process. Wes Anderson, David Fincher, Richard Linklater, and Martin Scorsese are among the A-List directors who pay homage to the legendary director and the tome's widespread influence on cinema. Directed by Kent Jones.
