Caché is not a movie you simply like or hate. It makes you question yourself, your own memories, and the purpose of genre as a whole.

| Feb 20, 2024

What makes Cache different is how brilliantly Haneke transforms the viewer into the author and participant, but then also weaves those intentions into the thematic consequence of the picture.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Feb 14, 2022

Another great French mystery that's more psychological than thrilling.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 28, 2020

Austrian sadist Michael Haneke's most mainstream film to date is this exquisitely calibrated and jittery thriller.

| Feb 12, 2020

Michael Haneke's sharp and timely thriller explores how the shadows of a man's past can come back to haunt him with a vengeance.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 5, 2011

Coming 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.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Sep 25, 2010

Many things are hidden in the layers of this brilliantly clever mystery from Michael Haneke: the truth, the point of view from which the story is told, the political references and, most intriguingly, the ending. Which is not to say you can't find them. B

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Oct 10, 2009

Another step towards replacing facile jolts with compassionate scrutiny

Michael Haneke est visiblement un cinéaste qui adore mettre son public à rude épreuve.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Aug 20, 2008

Michael Haneke's aptly named Caché (Hidden) is the kind of movie that fully engages the mind of the viewer. It's a multi-layered, open-ended thriller, an onion sliced by taut piano wire.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jun 8, 2008

Haneke doesn't just communicate anything to be left up to the viewer; he stacks up many ideas for the viewer to pick through.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Sep 18, 2007

Haneke's most accessible film, wraps the viewer up in its cinematic universe and makes him feel the menace breathing dows his neck

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 10, 2006

Like the very best of Hitchcock, marries both high- and low-brows in the compulsively watchable format of the thriller.

| Aug 7, 2006

Un drama intimista e inquietante que esconde una reflexión perturbadora sobre un vergonzoso capítulo de la historia francesa. Brillante dirección y actores.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 5, 2006

Although its opening promises a mystery, the question at the core of 'Cache' is not who is responsible for sending the packages; instead, the film asks whether the real danger is outside the Laurents' home or inside it.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 23, 2006

Haneke has made a fine study of guilt and betrayal, and tries to convey what is hidden. Perhaps what is best hidden in the film is the claim that lies are conveyed at 24 frames a second.

| Original Score: B+ | May 27, 2006

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 12, 2006

Chillingly reminds us that in life, love, family and politics, we never know the full story. And someone is always watching.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 4, 2006

The most unsettling part about Michael Haneke's taut, psychological thriller Hidden, is the ever-constantly changing points of view. We are never sure through whose eyes we are watching the events.
