Chicago Reader
The mise-en-scene tends toward a painterly abstraction, as Hitchcock employs powerful masses, blank colors, and studiously unreal, spatially distorted settings. Theme and technique meet on the highest level of film art. - 90
The New Yorker
Psychologically resonant, visually transcendent film. - 80
Empire
This remains a compelling Hitchcock thriller but it's Tippi Hedron's remarkable central performance which steals the show. - 80
TV Guide Magazine
Hitchcock's most liberated and poetic film, Marnie is a masterpiece of psychological mystery that encompasses all of the director's obsessions. - 60
The New York Times
At once a fascinating study of a sexual relationship and the master's most disappointing film in years. - 60
Time Out
It's as sour a vision of male-female interaction as Vertigo, though far less bleak and universal in its implications. That said, it's still thrilling to watch, lush, cool and oddly moving. - 50
Variety
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. - 50
LarsenOnFilm
This is a crazed and lurid character portrait that spends most of its time psychoanalyzing itself.
