Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, is written by John Michael Hayes, with the participation of James Stewart and Grace Kelly.

This is one of the most famous films of Hitchcock and has been several remakes target. Like many of the films of this director, it could almost be staged as a play, given that almost all the action takes place in the same place: the apartment of the protagonist. The script is excellent, although moments of too much predictability. The performance of the main actors is impeccable and striking, and I consider this one of the best films of Kelly's career. The photograph also deserves a very positive note. The rest (soundtrack, costumes, scenery etc.) is reasonable without surprise or particular attention.

I always heard people talk of this movie when it came in Hitchcock's name. But to see the film, I was of the opinion that this director did some more interesting and remarkable films. Either way, it's a good movie, it is worth to be seen and appreciated, and that will please a lot to most suspense fans or thrillers.… Expand

A very suspenseful, well thought out, together movie, which doesn't get too complex but still manages to provide an interesting story and unique directing techniques which will stand out as one of Hitchcock's masterworks.

Rear window is pretty much perfection, Hitchcock’s opening sequence introduces you into this world of neighbors and all the happenings around James Stewart. Such an expertly crafted way to tell this story. Superb in every sense of the word. 100/100

Hitchcock built a whole universe out of an apartment complex... We then, as audience, are witnesses to a man who spends his time peeping his neighbor. And... Grace Kelly looks stunning...

¿What does a man when has to stay home due a sickness or handicap? Despite the slow passed, Hitchcock knew the best for catching the attention of viewer due the detective plot and the magnetism of James Stewart.

Holds up incredibly well, largely thanks to Jimmy Stewart's effortless charisma & stellar believability. Hitchcock is a master at building tension & keeping the audience guessing. A+

I won't say I don't like his movies, but I'm not an avid fan. I got one of the box sets and found myself bored through most of the movies, this one included. Sure, the color themes are intriguing, but I've seen so much better use of color. This is the issue I have with these groundbreaking films; the ground was broken so long ago, they have been oft imitated.… Expand

Mais d'ailleurs il faut se méfier, car son prénom prononcé à l'anglaise, ça donne "graisse"... Et on ne veut pas de graisse, non, non, pas du tout !

Alors, il vaut mieux dire "Grâce" avec un gros accent circonflexe sur le "a" mais ne pas l'utiliser comme adjectif parce que sinon ça donne "grasse"... Et elle n'est pas grasse, bordel de merde ! Mais passons, car je me rends compte que je meuble comme un crevard et que je fais mon Hitchcock quelque part ; je me regarde donc le nombril, je me gave de Lexomil (c'est pour la rime) j'allume 3000 watts de projos et je commence à film... à faire de la merde.

Je laisse le fâlot James Stewart en roue libre, avec lui quoi qu'il arrive, on commence déjà à s'endormir et j'étire mon espèce de pièce de théâtre qui dure pas loin de deux plombes au maximum : elle plombe tout avec un aplomb sidérant, hypnotique et surtout soporifique. Je veille bien à ce qu'il ne se passe strictement rien tandis que tout le monde mate ces automates à travers les fenêtres grandes ouvertes... sauf à la toute fin que je m'efforce de rendre encore plus ridicule que tout le reste, ce qui n'est pas une mince affaire...

...mais j'y arrive toujours parce que je m'appelle Hitchcock et qu'il paraît que les bobos m'ont surnommé le "maître du suspense" !! putain qu'est-ce qu'on rigole quand même...… Expand

I kept watching hoping for something in this film to really draw me in and stand out from other movies. Instead there was HUGE chunks of this movie that felt as if they were filler with only a couple of minutes of actual development in the story. Very disappointing given the other reviews.

Charming even after six decades, Rear Window is a example how Hitchcok's movies ages well.
