Still recovering from PJ Party, with a little nap in my system, the sister and I headed off to an advance screening of Hitchcock. It was sponsored by Haagen-Dazs. We didn't get any free ice cream. Rubbish.
Maybe it was because I was tired but the sister and I apparently didn't see the same film. She believes it is the best film she has seen in 2013. I believe it had so much potential and fell flat on it's (rubbery) face.
Whilst I have seen a few Hitchcock films in the past, I am by no means a super fan and I don't know all that much about him as a person. I'm not sure Hitchcock changed things. It is an exploration into the making of Psycho and, if anything, just made me want to go home and watch that instead.
I don't know if I was distracted by the make up - it made for a successful silhouette but up close looked rubbery, powdery and overwhelmingly false - but I had a hard time getting into the characters.
By no means am I saying Hitchcock is a terrible film, I just did not engage in it at all. I'd much rather watch Psycho and read a book about the man himself.
