| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsDonald J. LevitThe film's frequent long takes are painful both on the eye and on the plot. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumThe picture moves with stealth, enjoying its own thriller-ness as hints are laid and mislaid. There's a sense that Hitchcock is hovering in the background and cheering for Auteuil, who musters all his French superstardom to play a man having his mask of blandness torn off. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenThis brilliantly disturbing movie is constructed with surgical precision. Haneke lets no one off the hook least of all the viewer. |
| TimeRichard CorlissWe the viewers are its beneficiaries, watching and waiting for something awful to happen. Here it does, first subtly, then spectacularly. The twist is not revealed until the last shot--if you keep your avid eyes open. |
| The Film YapNick RogersComing from a guy who sliced private parts onscreen long before Lars von Trier, "Cache" is restrained. But Michael Haneke skillfully, slowly twists the knife on those who would so carelessly forget a decision that forever altered the life of someone else. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertA perplexing and disturbing film of great effect. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonIn this movie, Auteuil ("Jean de Florette") and Binoche ("Chocolat") are such marvelous actors, they can shift us in almost any emotional direction with a speech or a glance. |
| PajibaJeremy C. FoxHaneke enjoys playing games with the audience, implicating us as voyeurs and reminding us of our passivity and powerlessness. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisMaurice Bénichou does the most heartbreaking work in the movie, playing a friend of Georges's. It's a character and a performance I'll have a tough time getting out of my dreams. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaLike Hitchcock, only creepier, Haneke slowly cranks up the suspense. |
