	Author	Review
United States	Dave Kehr Chicago Tribune	"Hitchcock's discovery of darkness within the heart of small-town America remains one of his most harrowing films"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"No one would ever accuse Alfred Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt of being plausible, but it is framed so distinctively in the Hitchcock style that it plays firmly and never breaks out of the story."	POS
United States	Miami Herald	"It's a fine mix of suspense and character study."	POS
United Kingdom	Emma Cochrane Empire	"Certainly one of Hitchcocks most satisfying thrillers, mostly thanks to Wright and Cotten's believable relationship"	POS
United Kingdom	Gary Arnold Time Out	"Funny, gripping, and expertly shot by Joe Valentine, it's a small but memorable gem"	POS
United Kingdom	London Evening Standard	"An ingenious and unorthodox thriller which is continuously entertaining."	POS
United States	David Denby The New Yorker	"Shadow of a Doubt may or may not be Hitchcock's greatest film, but it's his most intimate and heart-wrenching."	POS
