Canet has covered his bases with enough swooping camerawork, narrative smoke-and-mirrors, and quick-sketched supporting characters for a dozen thrillers
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.
Canet has a good feeling for lowlife atmosphere and he works up a few fine Hitchcockian twirls.
Although it might make your head spin, this case of Vertigo in cyberspace keeps us spellbound.
Tell No One is a thoroughly absorbing whodunit with more twists and switchbacks than the Le Mans racecourse.
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.
Combine the tricky twists and turns of the American thriller with the subtlety and sophistication of French cinema and you have Tell No One... a highly charged piece of work that grabs you by the neck and doesn't let go.
Suspend belief and forgive the absurdities and these are two of the most enthralling hours you'll spend in the cinema this year.
It's a thriller. It's a love story. It's for adults. Don't miss Tell No One.
Tell No One grows on you, even after a first screening. It is both a dignified and rarified treat.
Tell No One doesn't just keep you guessing; it keeps you on edge from start to finish.
Until an exposition flood so mammoth it has cresting waves, "Tell No One" is as eloquent as it is intricate - a superior depiction of crime, corruption, shame and secrecy. A French-language "Fugitive" with wind-sprint intensity and immediacy.
Excellent movie. Good, and believable acting. Fast paced, satisfyingly intricate plot with lots of suspense. This was not one of those films where you can foresee how things are going to work out--and are usually disappointingly right-- after the first few minutes. Far superior to the other foreign films I have seen in this genre. Very well done!

A good little French thriller based on a novel by Harlan Coben. A doctor whose wife was brutally murdered eight years before receives an e-mail purporting to have been sent by the dead woman herself. Meanwhile, the police have reopened the case in the light of fresh evidence, all of which - unfortunately for him - points to the husband as the killer. Although the plot eventually twists and turns itself beyond the bounds of plausibility, Tell No One remains an intellectually stimulating and - thanks to the strong central performance of François Cluzet - an emotionally satisfying piece of work. Beware, a Hollywood remake is in the offing :S
Sometimes, Ne le Dis à Personne should have chosen to go for the drama instead of so much thriller, or the opposite. But it had to chose and it remained uneven between both. Both sides still worked and made of it all a great movie that deserved all the recognition,
After skinny-dipping with his wife, a man wakes to find himself beaten and her dead. Eight years later he receives anonymous footage of her looking directly at the camera in a train station. As mounting evidence lead the police to pursue him for the murder, he must fight to find the truth about her death - if she is even dead - in this superbly constructed thriller. As I watch many American thrillers, I notice that most writers and directors emphasize either the action sequences or the intrigue. And virtually every night we're inundated with police procedurals like CSI and Cold Case. Tell No One succeeds because it is able to combine the best of both worlds. The primary action sequence - a chase scene - actually succeeds in compelling our interest because we care about the outcome. In Salt, for example, we don't really care about the initial chase sequence because we know that she's going to get away; she has to otherwise the film won't continue. But that's not the case here. Thus, there is built-in suspense as we wonder about the outcome. Additionally, in most thrillers when we meet the "bad" guy, the mystery is over. But here, information is given so sparingly and efficiently that the final reveal actually has some effect. Tell No One succeeds in keeping the characters ahead of us without leaving us in the dark. Essentially, we actually get to watch smart people solve the mystery. Overall, Tell No One is a thoroughly engrossing thriller that is almost perfectly constructed.
