Universally despised on its first release, Marnie remains one of Alfred Hitchcock's greatest and darkest achievements.

Marnie is the character study of a thief and a liar, but what makes her tick remains clouded even after a climax reckoned to be shocking but somewhat missing its point.

It's still thrilling to watch, lush, cool and oddly moving.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out

Considered a misfire at the time, it now looks like late-period Hitchcock at his most Hitchcockian.
Keith Phipps, AV Club
Rotten
At once a fascinating study of a sexual relationship and the master's most disappointing film in years.
Eugene Archer, New York Times
