The imagery is sometimes overblown (...) and the dream sequences designed by Dalí are exactly what you'd expect; but there are moments, especially towards the end, when the images and ideas really work together. | ||
 |
|
"The Salvador Dalí-designed dream sequence is still a dazzler, and deciphering it points to the real killer. Analysis the way it oughta be!" | ||
|
|
|
"One of Hitchcock's most romantic and popular '40s movies; it's also the source of most of Mel Brooks' parody High Anxiety" | ||
|
|
|
"A fascinating, grim, exciting motion picture, based on the current popular interest in psychiatry, and illustrating a new method of crime detection" | ||
|
|
|
"A seductive blend of mystery, psychology and soap opera" | ||
|
|
|
"An intriguing Hitchcock thriller which probes the dark recesses of a man's mind through psychoanalytic treatment and the love of a woman." | ||
|
|
|
"An intriguing Hitchcockian study of role reversal, with doctors and patients, men and women, mothers and sons inverting their assigned relationships with compelling, subversive results." | ||
|
|
|
"With all the obvious ingredients for success, Spellbound is a disaster." | ||
|
|
|
"Of all the pop-psychiatry movies from the 1940s, Spellbound survives its kitschy elements -- wallows in them, even -- to remain as fascinating as expected from a collaboration that was contentious" | ||
|
|
|
"Alfred Hitchcock handles his players and action in suspenseful manner and, except for a few episodes of much scientific dialogue, maintains a steady pace in keeping the camera moving." |
