Reviews for Tell No One
Among the movie’s many delights are the fluctuating rhythms of its pacing, an atmospheric volatility that sets off the doctor’s blooming paranoia against his sunlit, leafy surroundings, and a terrific cast.
Hot-blooded, haunting and packed with the pleasures of the unexpected.
Tell everyone about Tell No One. Not just because this is a top-notch thriller so twisty you may forget to breathe, but because for a long time it looked like you wouldn't be able to tell anyone at all.
Guillaume Canet’s delicious contemporary thriller Tell No One is Vertigo meets The Fugitive by way of The Big Sleep. That is meant as high praise.
All the clues make sense when pieced together -- but only on the surface.
This superbly acted and directed French thriller is eerie and suspenseful. But it's convoluted, complicated storytelling with an abrupt, anti-climactic resolution.
This twisty thriller nicely avoids Hollywood formulae, keeping us gripped to the complicated story and characters
never comes to grips with its standard-issue plot mechanics, delivering neither the icy thriller that its cool detachment edges towards, nor the pulse-quickening potboiler that its story would seem to demand.
Thrillers aren't always so thrilling, but Tell No One is -- and absorbing, sometimes perplexing and often stirring as well.
Even when Tell No One's story gets a bit too convoluted for its own good, the cinematography, the acting and especially the action will keep you glued to the screen.
This Hollywood-level suspense thriller never goes where you expect it to go, but often gets bogged down in over-exposition as the plot thickens... and thicken... and thickens...
overpacked...technically proficient and will be sure to delight mystery fans, but despite Cluzet's centering performance, the film moves too fast to engage with the lives at stake.
You'll leave wondering why Hollywood can't seem to make a romantic thriller so simply satisfying.
Hitchcock's "Wrong Man" scenario gets an invigorating French update in Tell No One, a long-winded but gripping thriller based on American author Harlan Coben's bestseller.
We know the material is artificially -- even deviously -- constructed, and we enjoy being manipulated by people who know what they’re doing. But it’s Cluzet’s intense performance that makes this genre piece a heart-wrenching experience.
This smash-hit French thriller starts slowly -- and builds into a sharp action flick, though an overload of plot twists threatens to bog things down midway through.
