This twisty thriller nicely avoids Hollywood formulae, keeping us gripped to the complicated story and characters

An intricate, intelligent, and very watchable thriller.

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.

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.

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.

Easily one of the best films of the year.

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.
