Where to Watch Rope
- Splitvision89September 13, 2025Jimmy Stewart once again proves he is the best actor in American history. This movie is incredible, and is so well done. It has everything: arrogant antagonists, persistent protagonist, incredible atmosphere, suspenseful music, all bottled into one location. They truly don't make movies like this anymore!
- tellumSeptember 6, 2025This is my personal favorite Hitchcock movie. The camerawork is extremely ambitious for the time with the whole movie being multiple long continuous shots, which ironically has become a staple in modern action movies. The acting and dialogue is excellent, premise is disturbing, and the pay off is great.
