	Author	Review
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Kent Jones' doc on the groundbreaking interview book gets you drunk on Hitchcock's films again. Nirvana for movie lovers. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"This documentary will be a top draw wherever films about filmmakers are welcome."	POS
United States	Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"Mr. Jones fashions an unfaltering encomium that's entirely free of the highfalutin monologues that might deter noncinephiles."	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"Accessible yet intelligent."	POS
United States	Alan Scherstuhl Village Voice	"An arresting précis, sharply edited and generous with its film clips - it's a smashing supplement to Truffaut's classic study."	POS
