Critics Consensus

A creepy French psychological thriller that commands the audience's attention throughout.

4/5

It's an indecently gripping movie, undeniably about colonial guilt and the legacy of the Algerian War. But, equally, by the film’s closing credits multiple questions remain.

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

3/4

Contrarian that he is, Haneke does a much finer job forcing questions than providing an answer.

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.

4/4

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.

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

A masterpiece worth watching; one of those films that keeps you gripped from the very first scene to the very last.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

I don’t understand how Haneke manages to create a masterpiece that captivates and holds you without the need for grand sets, heavily edited cinematography, or overacted performances. Pure suspense and horror, achieved without the usual Hollywood tricks. A true cinematic gem.

A slow burn that never quite blazes, Caché is far better for analysis than it is for viewing. It’s creepy but it never really builds much tension. There are hints of deeper ideas around collective guilt and how it can continue showing up in unexpected ways in our families and relationships. There are a handful of cool shots that drive some of these points home, but overall, it drags on a lot and lacks the resolution I was craving. If you’re into vague, cerebral films, this one might work for you, but it’s not for mainstream audiences and it wasn’t my favorite.
