Apparently this was going to be a Hollywood film first, but director Canet convinced the author of the novel it is based on that he should direct it. Thank God he did, I fear we would otherwise have missed out on one of the best thrillers of the last ten years.

This film is perfectly scripted and fantastically acted. It starts with a familiar conceit, but by slowly feeding you pieces of an intricate puzzle it manages to keep your interests peeked and your curiosity satisfied. The characters are fleshed out really well and they feel real and that helps lift this thriller, which at its heart feels more like a love story, with its head and shoulders firmly above its peers.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Guillaume Canet is fantastic. The utterly sensational Les petits mouchoirs was my first experience with the director and this film did not disappoint. It's one of the best thrillers of the decade.

Visually, the film is immensely beautiful. Every moment feels alive and unpredictable. The story unravels slowly and carefully, full of tension of subtle emotion.

Kristin Scott Thomas graces the film with her divine presence and François Cluzet is wonderful. The entire cast works beautifully.

It's terrific.

Ne le dis à personne (Tell No One) is a well-crafted French thriller with several intriguing plot twists, keeping you in suspense until the end. The performances are solid, the women are beautiful, and the police chase scene across the highway is almost as exhilarating as the classic street shootout scene in Michael Mann's Heat.

It was also a pleasant surprise to see the lead actor from one of my all-time favorite films — Le Mari de la Coiffeuse — back in this film: Jean Rochefort.

Quite superb thriller based on the Harlan Coban novel TELL NO ONE. This will have you hooked from start to finish with a wonderful cast and Guillaume Canet's finest hour as a director

Not to be missed

"This was a fun little thriller and much better than I was expecting. It kept me guessing up to the end which, I suppose, is what a good thriller should do�"

I probably would rate this a lot higher if I rewatched it because I remember thinking how great a thriller this was.

On one hand it’s amazing how the plot keeps twisting and turning but on the other it gets more and more daft in its final act and the particular way of wrapping things up the film uses always implies that proceedings were a bit too convoluted or far-fetched for the actual good of the film. It still does a great job of keeping the viewer guessing but then again that is the very problem, you could only really guess what the conclusion will be, as it is a very constructed construct as opposed to an organic reveal.

This could have been one of the ultimate thrillers had it not been for the final act.

The first 3/4 of the film was intense, intriguing, kept you guessing, had me completely clueless...it really needed a clever ending to match with everything that had been thrown at the viewer.

Instead it gave us an elaborate explanation, piece by piece of how the whole story fit together, not leaving any doubt, told by one of the characters just sitting there telling the story to another of the characters. It felt lazy compared to the rest and it's a real shame.

Despite the lame ending, I really enjoyed the rest of the film and François Cluzet is so cool and such a great actor. I wish there had of been more KST.

This is now one of my favourite French-language films.
Great story!

I have seen better thrillers. It couldn't engage me at all and screenplay is very average in my opinion

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

I usually don't mind subtitled movies at all, but Tell No One is a complex murder mystery involving lots of characters and multiple murders 8 years apart. It takes a 15 minute scene at the end to put it all together which means you'd better have been paying close attention to those subtitles if you expect to understand the solution.

I suspect that anyone who enjoys a good mystery/thriller and understands French will love this movie. I just spent too much time reading the bottom of the screen to really appreciate it.

I will say the final couple of minutes were very moving. Maybe to the point of getting me to watch it again, now that I know the basics and can enjoy the rest of the experience a little more. But why this was on Shudder escapes me…if you're thinking there will be some kind of horror hook at some point, you'll be disappointed.
