78/52's reviews
Media reviews
Variety
For a long time now, Alfred Hitchcock?s 'Psycho' has been two movies, and the hypnotic film-geek documentary 78/52 is an ingenious and irreverent master class in both of them.
New York Times
Even moviegoers who know 'Psycho' backward and forward...are bound to learn something new from the movie, which addresses the shower scene from critical, historical, theoretical and technical angles, down to the blinding white of the bathroom tiles.
The A.V. Club
The film picks up when it gets down to shot-by-shot analysis, allowing editors and other interviewees to break down one of the most famous sequences in movie history
The Hollywood Reporter
A resourceful, if rather hyperbolic documentary that devotes 90 minutes to analyzing one of the most famous scenes in film history
