Reviews for Tell No One
For all of its insanity of supposition, familial discord and the often-explored theme of the corrupt nature of the rich, Tell No One is something rare and original.
07/11/08
It attempts no improvements on the basic suspense formula. It just does everything really well: perfect pacing, lovely camera work, spot-on acting and an ingenious plot.
07/11/08
Now that I have let it settle in my head for a few days, I have come to sort of embrace it after all, not despite the lunacy of its plot but because of it.
07/11/08
The sometimes confused story %u2013 with so many players, a who's who checklist is needed to keep things clear %u2013 is aided with the oft-thrilling chases that punctuate the film.
07/11/08
There will be times you think it's too perplexing, when you're sure you're witnessing loose ends. It has been devised that way, and the director knows what he's doing. Even when it's baffling, it's never boring.

Top CriticA terrific mystery, equal parts haunting love story and nimble thriller.
07/11/08
Under the direction of Guillaume Canet, who adapted Harlan Coben's English-language best seller with Philippe Lefebvre, this is a splendid ensemble doing its level best to keep the audience guessing all the way through an increasingly knotty narrative.
07/10/08
I haven’t enjoyed so much pleasurably intrigue-laden suspense in ages, and it is charismatically acted, too.
07/10/08
Thriller, love story, whodunit; an unwieldy trio made whole by an up-and-coming mastermind.
07/08/08
An over-plotted, 2 hour crime caper offering those blessed with patience a denouement well worth the wait.
07/06/08
Blending the hard-boiled and the innocent with a sly dexterity, this is a riveting piece of filmmaking that never relies on the obvious or the cliché
07/04/08
A crackerjack thriller. A stylish and riveting nail-biter that holds us in its spell from start to finish.
07/03/08
The film delivers the requisite twists and turns, along with car chases, gun fights and soupçon of thug life, Paris style.
07/03/08
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.
07/03/08
Hot-blooded, haunting and packed with the pleasures of the unexpected.
07/03/08
A classy and sophisticated French murder mystery that is well-acted.
07/02/08
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.
07/02/08
Top CriticGuillaume 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.

Top CriticAll the clues make sense when pieced together -- but only on the surface.
