Reviews for Tell No One
A delicious outpouring of upper-crust malevolence, hovering cynicism and ever-deepening ambivalence that zigzags dizzyingly among its many characters, locations and plot turns.
An ingenious puzzle driven by the need to recover the central emotional connection of one's life. The author and the auteur captivate the mind with a firm grip on that theme.
Thanks to the style in which [director Canet] carries off every unlikely twist, it's a lot of fun all the way to to the decidedly creaky denouement.
It becomes an intriguing game of chess with each of the players making moves we can't always follow but in which we're always interested. It's a murder mystery, but the murder (indeed, murders) is not what it seems.
It’s refreshing to see a thriller in which all of this information makes sense, falling into place as pieces of a coherent puzzle.
In short, Tell No One is a thoroughly enjoyable thriller with a cracking plot, superb performances and exciting action sequences. How come Hollywood can't make thrillers this good anymore? Highly recommended.
An array of Gallic stars who fill small roles and know how to make the best of them.
Shot-through with emotional intensity, a muscular, brooding direction, and a plot that (just) stays on the right side of ludicrous.
Chopping back and forth in time, it’s dynamically shot but overreaches with a flurry of dramatic revelations.
The supporting cast of Nathalie Baye, Kristin Scott Thomas and Francois Berléand supply gloss to the picture, though its plotting becomes so convoluted that tension drains away
It’s exhausting but enthralling from start to finish. Once you’ve seen it I guarantee you’ll want to tell all your friends.
The supporting cast, including Kristin Scott Thomas and Nathalie Baye, are strong. It’s a watchable thriller
A gripping thriller, this deserves to cross over from the subtitled bracket into mainstream cinema.
Christophe Offenstein’s fluid camera tracks the action well enough, but any pretence to subtlety or sophistication seems lost in translation.
Tell No One retains all the slick dynamism and tension of a classic Hollywood thriller without ever seeming anything but French.
Hardly anyone can make good old American suspense thriller like the French.
