Although she was thrilled with the choice of Miller, Hedren was worried she would not be portrayed "as strong a character as I was – and still am. I had to be extremely strong to fight off Mr. Hitchcock." She described the moment she saw the film as "probably one of the most involved, emotionally tense 90 minutes that I have ever lived".<ref name="HBO Hedren Interview"/> Upon the film's release, Hedren said although she believed the film accurately portrays Hitchcock's behavior towards her, the time constraints of a 90-minute film prevented telling the entire story of her career with him. "It wasn't a constant barrage of harassment. If it had been constantly the way we have had to do it in this film, I would have been long gone." She recalled there were times she described as "absolutely delightful and wonderful", and insisted that "Hitchcock had a charm about him. He was very funny at times. He was incredibly brilliant in his field."<ref>{{cite news|first=Rob|last=Salem|url=https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/television/2012/10/19/hitchcock_and_hedren_now_an_hbo_movie.html|title=Hitchcock and Hedren now an HBO movie|newspaper=[[Toronto Star]]|publisher=Star Media Group|date=October 19, 2012|access-date=February 5, 2013}}</ref> The film was controversial, as others who knew and worked with Hitchcock responded to it negatively.<ref name=Telegraph-2012-12-26>{{cite news|last=Millward|first=David|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/9766218/BBC-under-fire-over-Hitchcock-drama.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121226193659/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/9766218/BBC-under-fire-over-Hitchcock-drama.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 26, 2012|title=BBC under fire over Hitchcock drama|work=[[The Daily Telegraph]]|date=December 26, 2012|access-date=May 13, 2013}}</ref> [[Kim Novak]], who worked on Hitchcock's ''[[Vertigo (film)|Vertigo]]'' (1958), disputed Hitchcock's portrayal as a sexual predator in ''The Girl'': "I never saw him make a pass at anybody or act strange to anybody.
