Critic Reviews

  • J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

    I think it's just so well made, so well photographed.

  • Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

    Through its first two-thirds, at least, Hide and Seek does a good enough job of piquing our curiosity that the movie's ultimate dumbness is more than a minor insult.
