[The best way] to view The Girl as an exquisitely lurid morality play in the Hitchcock style.

Film lovers will--possibly against their better judgment--love Jones' Hitch.

USA Today
Graced by strong performances from Sienna Miller and Toby Jones as Tippi Hedren and Alfred Hitchcock, this backstage story of Hollywood sexual obsession is never less than enjoyable.

TV Guide Magazine
At just 90 minutes, The Girl can feel rushed and only occasionally convinces us that an actual movie is being made--this is so focused on Hitch-and-Tippi you'd think The Birds was a one-woman show.

This HBO original [is] clean and smart and dull.

The New York Times
The music, costumes, lighting and even some camera shots--a shower head, a spiral staircase--all evoke classic Hitchcock movies like "Psycho," "Spellbound" and "Vertigo." But the film loses steam as soon as Hitchcock acts on his passion.

It creeps and creeps in a very petty pace until it puts itself out of its misery, and ours.
