[Ne le dis à personne]
2008 France Dir Guillaume Canet Cast François Cluzet, Marie-Josée Croze, André Dussollier, Kristin Scott-Thomas, Marina Hands, Nathalie Baye, Jean Rochefort IMDb

A French gloss on Hollywood thrillers past and present, the abiding love story and windbag confessional of yesteryear married to today’s inventively staged chase scene and twist ending. I felt like I’d seen much of it before, and that I still couldn’t see a cohesive plot behind it, but still it works. If it’s a formula psychological thriller, it’s a better one, and if the plot is just a little too convoluted for its own good, a deeper emotional honesty carries it through. Excellent performances all around, very enjoyable, probably top-notch world popcorn fare.

 Lauren, 25, out-of-work librarian. At the moment, TLC is but a review blog and catalogue of my film-related perversions. I always plan to do more with it — and to one day step outside 30s Hollywood again. Who knows?
