Thriller. Mystery Guy Maddin's experimental feature combs through San Francisco-produced films and TV shows to craft an eerie echo of 'Vertigo'.

	Author	Review
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"Even working with some of the most mainstream ingredients one could possibly find (...) and one of the most familiar settings on earth, Guy Maddin knows how to make things strange."	POS
United States	Ben Kenigsberg The New York Times	"As a chronicle of how San Francisco has changed over the years (...) 'The Green Fog' is a wonder of excavation and urban history. What it says about Hitchcock is more ambiguous."	POS
United States	Bilge Ebiri Village Voice	"[It] teaches new ways of seeing (...) You don’t just watch these clips — you see through and between them. The juxtapositions create vital, cosmic connections."	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"There’s no question that 'The Green Fog' maintains a mysterious atmosphere all to its own."	POS
United States	Joshua Rothkopf Time Out	"An eerie, often funny remake (...) They get at the essence of 'Vertigo', haunting us via ghostly transmissions (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"'The Green Fog' is suffused with a very Hitchcockian sense of intrigue, romance and suspense (...) It all inevitably leads to a pileup of truly vertiginous and earth-shaking climaxes"	POS
