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

Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

By and large, Tell No One is more interested in telling a knotty story than pondering its meaning, but in those rare deeper moments, Canet evokes how a tragedy can gather around a man and linger there, like a cloud of gnats.

Noel Murray, AV Club

Although it might make your head spin, this case of Vertigo in cyberspace keeps us spellbound.

Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Tell No One is a thoroughly absorbing whodunit with more twists and switchbacks than the Le Mans racecourse.

Susan Walker, Toronto Star

A whodunit so nicely crafted that you're tempted to forgive the Byzantine plot -- hell, you're even tempted to pretend you actually understand its twisting obscurities.

Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
