Of all Hitchcock's films, this is the one which most reveals the man.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out

The deliciousness of watching the film as it's intended to be seen is that the big screen gives Rear Window back its claustrophobia.
Jeff Millar, Houston Chronicle

Don't resist the urge -- steal a peek at it now, and be reminded why Hitchcock is still without equal in the clammy thrills department.
Glenn Lovell, San Jose Mercury News

Masterpiece of voyeurism.
