COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Rear Window submitted by jayendra44106 on July 23, 2011, 11:20am I loved this movie. It's suspenseful, and nobody dies. When Jeff sits in his wheelchair all day and looks out the window, he eyes some suspicious things: his neighbor, Lars Thorwald takes nightly trips outside with a suitcase, Thorwald puts all his wife's belongings into another suitcase, and someone kills a dog. It adds up to great suspense and a great movie!!

Loved this submitted by nwall24 on July 8, 2013, 10:48pm This is a great movie. Suspenseful and exciting! I loved this.

great movie! submitted by airgood on June 15, 2015, 3:33pm This is a pretty typical Hitchcock movie with a slow pace that builds suspense. A great Jimmy Stewart performance and fantastic plot! The end was unexpectedly fast-paced and brilliant.

Rear Window - DVD submitted by Fevvers - STAR473 on August 15, 2016, 12:30am Rear Window is suspenseful and unique. I like how the slightly (or more so) skeevy voyeurism of Jimmy Stewart's character is acknowledged, despite him being the "good guy." Grace Kelly is magnificent. She has her classic poise, but also conveys determination, bravery, and wit.

Gotta love it. Raymond Burr! Only down side: depiction of an animal having been victimized. submitted by lisa on July 26, 2018, 3:54pm Fortunately you don't see the victimizing. Unfortunately, you see that it has happened.

One of my Favorite Films submitted by benmurphysmith on August 30, 2018, 5:54pm Great performances by Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly. Despite all action taking place in one room, the film is incredibly thrilling. Unrelated but, I didn't realize that Jimmy Stewart was such a legendary war hero.

Classic submitted by Rumshaker13 on July 7, 2019, 2:28pm Loved this classic as a kid and still a great suspense thriller. Highly recommend!

Rear Window dvd submitted by a2sue on July 21, 2019, 6:52am The dvd of Rear Window was fantastic! I'm a big Hitchcock fan and this film does not disappoint!!!

Watch it again and again! submitted by wysea on July 26, 2019, 11:25pm This movie is so good that during a time when I didn’t have cable or internet I would watch it on VHS over and over again.

My favorite from the voyeurism trilogy submitted by A2AE on July 19, 2021, 7:53pm Jimmy Stewart + Grace Kelly + Hitchcock's theme of voyeurism = a good time. It's an amazing film that is easy to watch over and over and still notice new things (especially if you're lucky enough to see it on the big screen).

Great movie! submitted by KatieD on August 9, 2021, 5:57pm I'm a huge fan of Alfred Hitchcock's movies and I always recommend this as a good starting point for people looking to get into his films. The suspense, the plots (and subplots!), and the timing all just come together to make a masterpiece!

My Favorite Hitchock! submitted by Abbie D. on June 29, 2022, 2:12pm I will watch this over and over again, Grace Kelly is stunning and a strong female lead. There is great suspense and mystery! Even the side stories of the neighbors are intriguing. Definitely worth the watch!
