I love movies about making movies. Unfortunately this one is not for me. This is supposed to be based on real events, and while I am not saying these events didn't happen. I just can't buy it. While the writing certainly was part of the problem, it is the awful performance of Toby Jones as Alfred Hitchcock that brings the movie down. Whether or not Hitchcock actually harassed Tippi Hendren isn't the issue I have here. It's believing that the fiend doing it in this film is actually Alfred Hitchcock. Look I know that Hitchcock was famous for his gallows humor and a love of dirty jokes and limericks, but the movie has Tippi Hendren as the only one who is hearing any of these remarks. In addition Toby Jones comes across as a boorish piece of wood in his portrayal of the master of the macabre. Because of this I simply can't buy this story at all.
