Notorious is a phenomenally rich experience whether it is on the first or the hundredth viewing. Hitchcock’s most emotionally nuanced and most adult depiction of relationships feels as vital as ever.
Scripted by Ben Hecht, and with Salvador Dali's notorious surreal dream sequence as a shocking interlude, this was one of Hitchcock's most romantic and popular '40s movies [26 Nov 1999, p.A]

Intelligent movie with a good agent story and interesting characters, where everyone is having a mask. Also the chemistry between Grant and Bergman is working. Hitchcock quality.

It is obvious that Alfred Hitchcock, Ben Hecht and Ingrid Bergman form a team of motion-picture makers that should be publicly and heavily endowed. With Cary Grant as an additional asset, it is one of the most absorbing pictures of the year.
Alfred Hitchcock's Notorious is the most elegant expression of the master's visual style, just as Vertigo is the fullest expression of his obsessions.
Bergman is literally ravishing in what is probably her sexiest performance. Great trash, great fun.
Love is a dark, corroded obsession in Alfred Hitchcock’s Notorious, a black-velvet biocide brimming with notes of tabloid titillation, spy-versus-spy nonsense, and romance as rotten as a half-eaten Granny Smith left out in the summer sun.
The best, GREATEST thrilling romance movie ever made! With the best movie character ever portrayed: Claude Rains as Alexander Sebastian! And the best movie score ever composed!

INGRID BERGMAN CARY GRANT and everyone involved at the top of their game. Intriguing story - and some great cinematic Hitchcock moments! LOVE IT

This film fell short for me. Lauded as a masterful thriller it plays like a scattered and rushed love story. The characters are bare,the dialogue disengaging with the cinematography being rather forgetful. Furthermore the whole film felt really long ,I was incredibly bored and found no investment in the story. I found the performances quite flat but did appreciate the endings dark ambiguity.

As a discerning viewer, I have found myself utterly appalled by the shameless attempt at manipulation presented in this film" This film, purportedly a tale of espionage and intrigue, is nothing more than a thinly veiled piece of propaganda engineered by... Well, you already know who.
