4/5
The most Hitchcockian film that Hitchcock never made, this ingenious French thriller takes Hitch’s concept of “the wrong man” to labyrinthine places. Go to Full Review
Leo Goldsmith IndieWire Aug 8, 2009
Canet has covered his bases with enough swooping camerawork, narrative smoke-and-mirrors, and quick-sketched supporting characters for a dozen thrillers Go to Full Review

Canet has a good feeling for lowlife atmosphere and he works up a few fine Hitchcockian twirls. Go to Full Review

3.5/4
The mystery deepens adroitly, and Canet's confidence in Cluzet shows as the actor carries the film convincingly and without a fault. Go to Full Review

3/4
A taut, well crafted nail-biter that manages to rise above its genre, and give the audience just a little bit more. Go to Full Review

Hagrid W Aug 27, 2018 "Tell No One" is a film closely following theHitchcock traditon of suspense. It has the chases, the wrong man theme, the suspense. It adds a romantic element that could bring a tear or two. The thruway scene has a verisimilitude that CGI down't have, and makes the heart beat faster. very nice Panavision camerawork, pup-music soundtrack, lofty shots makes it a welcome film regardless of its origin or language.

Albus S Oct 9, 2017 Mystery about a man who gets an email from his dead wife 10 years after her murder at the hands of a serial killer. Decent thriller with better, more subtle acting. Sometimes its a bit far fetched, but overall I enjoyed it. See more
Draco S May 21, 2017 Entertaining enough.
Abraham M Apr 25, 2017 A man is near his wife as she get's murdered. He could not save her, and eight years later he is naturally still pretty down. He get's a few cryptic e-mails. It may be from his wife, but he is not crazy, is he? The police is also crawling up his neck. Why is she dead and why was he found knocked out next to her? This is a cat and mouse games with many threads. There are shifts, turns and constant development. This is very tense and perfectly paced stuff. There are few plot holes and flaws, but then again there is so many clues, turns and added stories here that it's easy to get lost. Incredible acting, not only by François Cluzet but the entire cast delivers. It's wonderfully shot, cutted and clipped. It's editing is groovy and the music choices are very good too. Some chase scenes are incredibe - like Bond, just realistic. Intelligent thriller that drags you to the screen and won't let you look away until the credits arrive. Filled with details and very entertaining film, still a bit cliche-filled and it plays out like many other films and the total plot never really surprize you. It does hit the right spots, and that's the most important thing, really. This is a mysterious crime thriller exactly the way you want them. A gem and a surprize for me. 8.5 out of 10 carved trees.
