Butterworth 3.5/4 "...surprisingly suspenseful and gripping..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair B "Though it fails to deliver as a thriller, it succeeds reasonably well as an unpleasant but brilliant social polemic."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz "The film's frequent long takes are painful both on the eye and on the plot."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Donald J. Levit 4/5 "Un drama intimista e inquietante que esconde una reflexión perturbadora sobre un vergonzoso capítulo de la historia francesa. Brillante dirección y actores."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio A- "A film about chickens coming home to roost, about arrogant people refusing to accept responsibility for their past sins... Voyeuristic and creepy."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider A- "I was expecting a spooky mystery about a family terrorized by a diabolical stalker. I got something even better."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov "Another step towards replacing facile jolts with compassionate scrutiny"   CinePassion   Fernando F. Croce A- "Joins a line of distinguished thrillers...that are more than just thrillers, and proves their equal."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 5/5 "A sharp-edged thriller about the refusal of privileged members of the winning class to trust others or to take responsibility for their actions."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 2.5/4 "While Caché offers food for thought, the last third is muddled."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 9/10 "Michael Haneke est visiblement un cinéaste qui adore mettre son public à rude épreuve."   Panorama   Jean-François Vandeuren 3.5/4 "Turns screws and perpetuate guilt in riveting Hitchcockian style."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 7/10 "It leaves a bad taste, but Caché is never less than enthralling, grabbing its audience through sheer force of technique."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 68/100 "[It] is a superb piece of work, made by a master of the form, yet I'm not quite sure how much I like it. By design, it's a purposely-unsatisfying contraption."   MovieMartyr.com   Jeremy Heilman 7/10 "This is not your straight-forward American thriller or suspense."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 4/5 "Haneke's most accessible film, wraps the viewer up in its cinematic universe and makes him feel the menace breathing dows his neck"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 2/5 "If Haneke's The Piano Teacher featured a riveting, but overwritten central character, his lean script for Caché (Hidden) moves in the opposite direction."   Film-Forward.com   Kent Turner 3.5/4 "Practically all ominous establishing shots, yet it can be an incredibly suspenseful watch."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest A "...without a doubt the most provocative movie of the year."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "Like the very best of Hitchcock, marries both high- and low-brows in the compulsively watchable format of the thriller."   Not Coming to a Theater Near You   Leo Goldsmith 3/4 "A master of the icy yet visceral shock, Austrian-born Michael Haneke often turns his formidably unpleasant imagination to the movie equivalent of a cruel prank. But in Cache (Hidden), the subject matter is worthy of his nastiness ..."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3.5/4 "Challenges the audience to get involved in the story"   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes B- "The early sequences’ chilling suspense winds up getting hidden amidst its crowded, clumsy allegorical concerns."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager 5/5 "The psychological effect of the film is great, buoyed not only by the layers of hidden secrets that obscure the characters true intentions, but in how the film is designed."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 4/5 "Crisply shot and performed with raw intensity."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline C "If I have to sit through French small talk in a slow-paced film for two hours, I expect a substantial payoff."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten A- "["Cache" is] intelligent and intriguing and will readily draw the film buffs in search of thought-provoking entertainment."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 9/10 "A haunting expose' about a camera with a mind of its own and the closet of skeletons it barely holds in check."   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson 4/4 "The quality of pointed inquiry is not completely in vain, whatever ugliness scatters before the shining of that light."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw Read review   Georgia Straight   Mark Harris  (1 - 34) of 34 OFCS Rating: 82% Fresh Page   1
