Giddily atypical in its style even as it explores lurid new byways of Hitchcock's familiar obsessions.

Under Capricorn is overlong and talky, with scant measure of the Alfred Hitchcock thriller tricks.
Variety Staff, Variety
Fresh
A strangely unexciting but emotionally intriguing Hitchcock costume drama with echoes of Rebecca and Suspicion.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Rotten
It seems that neither Miss Bergman nor Mr. Hitchcock has tangled here with stuff of any better than penny-dreadful substance and superfical demands.
Bosley Crowther, New York Times
Fresh
Shot in astonishingly elaborate long takes, this is the kind of film that finds the most brilliant poetry in the slightest movement of the camera -- a paradigm of cinematic expression.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
