Critic Reviews

Variety Staff, Variety
Alfred Hitchcock's trademarked cinematic development of suspenseful drama, through mental emotions of the story principals, is vividly displayed in Suspicion.
-
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Everyone concedes that this 1941 Hitchcock film is a failure, yet it displays so much artistic seriousness that I find its failure utterly mysterious.

Bosley Crowther, New York Times
Mr. Hitchcock is probably the most artful sophist working for the films -- and anyone who doesn't think so should see Suspicion.

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
The Hollywood-style happy ending was imposed on Hitchcock by the studio.
-
Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
The disappointingly neat coda has led to the dismissal of the film as second-tier Hitchcock, but up to that ending, the critique of marriage is so provocative, the imagery so powerful, and the acting so good that it's extremely enjoyable to watch.
