De Palma's direction has its splashy slickness, but the people serve as mere props for the effects.

New York Magazine/Vulture
4 stars out of 5 -- Brian De Palma's melodrama has aged surprisingly well....Beautifully shot by Vilmos Zsigmond and with a towering score by Bernard Herrmann...

Rating: 3/4 --
Sometimes overwrought excess can be its own reward. If Obsession had been even a little more subtle, had made even a little more sense on some boring logical plane, it wouldn't have worked at all.

Chicago Sun-Times
Whatever shred of credibility the movie retains is dispersed by the final, dead serious directorial hocus‐pocus.

Rating: 4/5 --
Obsession endures because De Palma fanatics can see the origins of the director's obsessions make their way on to the screen.

The fun in Obsession comes not from its plot but from its sweeping passions.

The result is a positive, life-affirming work made by people who know how to exorcise their personal obsessions with beauty and craft.

Product Description:
In one of director Brian DePalma's (DRESSED TO KILL, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE) many cinematic tributes to Hitchcock (this one borrows from VERTIGO), Cliff Robertson portrays an American businessman whose wife and child are killed in a botched kidnap rescue effort. Years later, while in Italy, the still-distraught widower begins an affair with a woman (Genevieve Bujold) whose resemblance to his late wife is rather uncanny. The script was co-written by Paul Schrader (TAXI DRIVER, RAGING BULL).
