rotten:
The movie spends too much time off the set of Psycho, where the real story was, and focuses instead on incidental matters that feel like outtakes.

An overly literal idea of the brilliant director, but an entertaining visit to the set of a horror classic.

Filmed with lots of style and a macabre sense of humor the master himself would have enjoyed.

It's tough work giving good face to an iconic role, yet Johansson manages to show Leigh as a thoughtful professional aware of the interpersonal booby-traps set by her director for his leading ladies.
