Canet has covered his bases with enough swooping camerawork, narrative smoke-and-mirrors, and quick-sketched supporting characters for a dozen thrillers

Reviews for Tell No One
Tell No One has shades of Hitchcock's Vertigo -- and not to its detriment. [An] extremely gripping and fascinating suspense film.

Initially complex, the piece's grip loosens with the introduction of a transparent villain, but it remains an entertaining thriller bolstered by Cluzet's appropriately angst-driven performance.
11/26/08
Easily one of the best films of the year.
11/17/08
By and large, Tell No One is more interested in telling a knotty story than pondering its meaning, but in those rare deeper moments, Canet evokes how a tragedy can gather around a man and linger there, like a cloud of gnats.
10/18/08
Canet has a good feeling for lowlife atmosphere and he works up a few fine Hitchcockian twirls.
10/18/08
Although it might make your head spin, this case of Vertigo in cyberspace keeps us spellbound.
10/18/08
An absorbing thriller, one that works its narrative complications over a genuinely moving emotional foundation and is spiked with just enough dark humor to keep it from becoming overly serious.
10/18/08
...the pleasures here are more visceral than cerebral or emotional. It's really more of a thrill ride than the sort of art-house talkie you might expect
10/17/08
As brisk as things become, clarity wins out, as the hand-held camerawork Bourne for many a chase sequence has no place here.
10/11/08
This is one of the most intelligent, satisfying, beautifully plotted adrenalin boosts you're ever likely to experience at the movies.
09/26/08
Tell No One is a thoroughly absorbing whodunit with more twists and switchbacks than the Le Mans racecourse.
09/26/08
Top CriticA well-paced journey through knotty conspiracies and ever-shifting alliances, executed with great style and grace.
09/26/08
A whodunit so nicely crafted that you're tempted to forgive the Byzantine plot -- hell, you're even tempted to pretend you actually understand its twisting obscurities.
09/26/08
Top CriticThe French thriller Tell No One shows Hollywood how to make a knotty mystery that's both logical and deeply satisfying.
09/07/08
Canet stages some breakneck chases, particularly one where Alex crosses a busy freeway, and corrals an array of fascinating characters to populate this twisty but entirely logical plot.
09/05/08
It's a potboiler -- not groundbreaking or brilliant, but solidly entertaining.
09/02/08
Tell No One is a French action thriller and murder mystery that doesn't cheat.
