On the surface it is a brilliant thriller but deeper thoughts lie beneath.
Cache (Hidden) Reviews and Ratings

November 22, 2008The horror. The film shines the light on a frech couple who both work, and are being terrorized by survailance videos, the couples relationship is in termoil when the film begins, their adolecent son is begining to hate them like any other teen, what is frightning about this film...( read more)

November 11, 2008A couple respectable critics thought this was the best film of its year, no way but still involving and has one truly shocking moment that still gives me the shudders.
-
November 9, 2008I love to think of this film like the director is sending the tapes him self. This may be true and warents another watch.
-
October 24, 2008absorbing but ultimately frustrating, quite confounding. it lodges itself into your brain with itself....
-
October 23, 2008i'm sorry to say i think this definitely the worst movie i have ever seen. news flash: watching security tapes of the outside of someone's home, watching cars occasionally go by every few minutes, for seven minutes straight is not what i would call entertaining. those random scen...( read more)

October 20, 2008People who know Michael Haneke must know that all his movies are a little pretentious and most of them are a critic to the society and the media (ex. Funny Games)....( read more)
Cache (Hidden) isn´t the exception, the film moves at slow pace and has some "holy-shit" scen -
October 5, 2008mind-numbing. People have called it brilliant and maybe I wasn't just seeing it, but about half the movie is just some street being filmed with nothing going on. When the story did come up it was interesting but with such gaps between story it made it rather annoying to watch.
-
September 29, 2008I can't make up my mind on what this is. A movie so deceiving its themes are hard to digest. The themes of colonialism, responsibility and modern life is explored in vivid detail in this rather exceptional thriller where clues are placed everywhere and your eyes are stretched thi...( read more)

September 1, 2008Perfect! Haneke knows what is camera apparatus and frame! Sharp like a razor.
-
August 31, 2008Non lo definirei proprio avvicente. Il film scorre via lentamente senza che ci siano momenti di particolare tensione o suspance. Si notato tuttavia alcuni elementi apparentemente tipici dello stile di Haneke che accomunano "Cachè" a quel fantastico "Funny Games" del '97. Un esemp...( read more)

August 24, 2008good camera work, pretty good story terrible terrible ending.
- the director on behind the scenes stated he likes movies where it makes u think-
didn't like it -
August 22, 2008Nicely filmed but it was pretty pretentious at times - sacrificing thrills for political messages.
-
-
August 12, 2008"The first great film of the 21st Century" - well, that's what it says on the cover of the dvd. I think this is the first sub-titled film for me, that seems to lose something in translation. According to the synopsis ("This utterly compelling psychological thriller..."), I feel...( read more)
-
July 28, 2008Everything I really dislike about Michael Haneke and his movies. Dull, self-important and unbearably pretentious. It never has a really purpose no matter how hard it pretends that most people pretend to like it just so they don't feel stupid. Solid acting from Juliette Binoche ca...( read more)
-
July 21, 2008For a movie with hidden truths and hidden messages, you either hate it or love it. Not for people who can't bear with ambiguity.
-
July 4, 2008Interesting french thriller by Michael Haneke (better remember his name...).
It's difficult to review this movie cuz at first I got this feeling of disappointment but the minute the credits started to roll I was amazed. Every shot is thoroughly planned and there's very minimalis...( read more) -
-
July 3, 2008Caché no es la gran obra que esperaba de Haneke. Aunque, a pesar de no resolver satisfactoriamente los dilemas que plantea durante sus exhaustivas 2 horas de duración, es capaz de introducirnos en los traumas y pesadillas del pasado de un padre de familia. Los vídeos anónimos so...( read more)
-
June 30, 2008Michael Haneke is a very interesting filmmaker, in that he makes films the mass public absolutley loathes and that most other people don't love but certainly appreciate. While I didn't think Cache was one of his best films, I thought it was a very well-made well-acted film that h...( read more)

June 28, 2008Jesus Christ, I saw this film standing at some god-forsaken festival and I wanted to kill myself.
-
June 3, 2008A psychological suspense drama of the utmost rigor and originality.
Whether viewed as a political allegory or a domestic drama, this is the most accessible film yet from one of Europe?s very finest filmmakers. -
June 3, 2008The worst of all possible scenarios is when a director sets out to intentionally and patronizingly bore the audience and succeeds. There is no story here, the plot incomplete. It takes a stab at trying to implicate 'bourgeoise' life in ... in what, I'm not sure.
This film is not...( read more) -
June 2, 2008Cryptic, twisted and violent, both psychological and physically. To fully understand it you must decrypt some scenes.
-
May 27, 2008A nice little film that goes places you never thought it'd go. A simple story told in a very interesting way, which leads the view to no particular conclusion. I love that the director doesn't want to sum up the film and give you nothing to think about or talk about once the stor...( read more)
-
May 26, 2008The one word I can think of to describe this movie: taut. It keeps you curious throughout the whole 2 hours and, because it doesn't have a distinct resolution (although it is implied), it will keep you curious for long afterwards. Cache also has one of the most unexpected, sho...( read more)

April 28, 2008This movie is really something else...it's amazing how there is no need for special effects of any kind...and how repeating certain things can really get under your skin. The actors are amazing in here, regardless of how well known they are/aren't.
But really...and the certain e...( read more) -
April 5, 2008Excoriating, brutal, intense, unrelentingly harsh and cynical, and I love every second of it. Haneke is an epic genius.
-
March 23, 2008I found this movie really easy to watch and very interesting. A few scenes were scary in a clever kind of way for example the glimpse of the child with blood on his face and then the scene with the rooster. The only thing negative about this film for me was i thought i understood...( read more)

March 9, 2008Negative half a star for the lack of a conclusion. It was an excellent movie through and through though. Excellent acting, a well thought out plot, and it of all things seemed spooky in theory and execution. I'm so glad they didn't turn it into a cheap horror film, but I guess th...( read more)
-
February 26, 2008My second favourite french film of the last few years. It's not for everyone, you either love it or hate it. But if you love it you REALLY love it.
-
February 18, 2008Effective head-scratcher. Don't watch if you don't like clear-cut resolutions. A very deliberate, suspenseful movie with a creepy premise involving mysterious tapes of a couple's house, and then get more creepy from there. At turns frustrating, thought-provoking, and shocking,...( read more)
-
February 6, 2008A very subtle and yet disturbing film. Haneke does a great job in creating suspense in what could be (potentially) a plausible situation--not an everyday situation, but one that everyone can relate to.

-
February 1, 2008Yok, this film is disgusting full of self righteousness and pointing fingers. The actors are pathetic and the camera work boring.
-
January 26, 2008To describe Caché is almost as difficult as watching and understanding the film itself. But the first thing to keep in mind is that Michael Haneke isn't exacly an entertainer. I knew that since La Pianiste, one of the most painfully depressing films I've seen to dat...( read more)
-
January 18, 2008Pretty good french film. The plot was very interesting, but I was still a little confused at the end. I would definately watch this again, maybe I'll understand it the second time through.
-
January 14, 2008i really like michael haneke's work. he always tries to bring the most painful emotions to the light of day and he explores the human nature in a magnificent, dark and obscure way. caché has many hidden secrets and as a viewer, i think i will need to rewatch it to get a better op...( read more)
