Critics Consensus

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

Kevin Maher

The Times (UK)

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.

Rated: 4/5

Catherine Shoard

Daily Telegraph (UK)

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

Denver Post

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

Rated: 3/4

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.

Deep Focus Review

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.

Rated: 4/4

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

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

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

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.

Fantastic this is what movies are supposed to be enthralling and expertly shot must watch... the ending is hidden also which is unique

If you want a movie with closure, don't watch this. It's such a slow burn that even crystal meth would have barely gotten me through it, yet power away I did and I want my nearly 2 hours back. I prefer not to watch movies to wonder what the hell happened. It's very open at the end and if that's your thing, check this out. Otherwise, I'd suggest a hard pass.
