Reviews
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.
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.
Hardly anyone can make good old American suspense thriller like the French.
