United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"The hypnotic film-geek documentary '78/52' is an ingenious and irreverent master class"	POS

United States	Matt Singer Screen Crush	"I still learned new things about Hitchcock, 'Psycho', and the shower scene from '78/52'. And I had a good time learning them (...) A valuable resource for burgeoning film fans and casual cinephiles"	POS
United Kingdom	David D'Arcy Screendaily	"The scene’s dissection should be a huge festival hit and a VOD smash among movie geeks."	POS
