In a few moments the British actress, playing a haunted woman named Juliette, will begin speaking French, but in these moments her face reveals more than any dialogue.

Rafer Guzman, Newsday

In a profession that routinely casts aside leading ladies when they hit 40, it's a shame a great one had to take her act to France to remind us that actors, like wines, only improve with age.

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

This is a thriller, though, in the sense that it is a thrill to watch Scott-Thomas give one of the finest performances of the year.

Despite its flaws, the movie pulls you in with its squarely realistic setting and subdued performances. Best of all is Thomas.

[The] final twist undoes the film to some degree, [but] it cannot undo Scott Thomas's performance, one of the marvels of this, or any, cinematic year.

Christopher Orr, The New Republic
