Cache (Hidden) (2005) scores a combined 4.00 out of 4 stars for Chicago Tribune (Michael Wilmington)Chicago Tribune (Michael Wilmington)
In this movie, Auteuil ("Jean de Florette") and Binoche ("Chocolat") are such marvelous actors, they can shift us in almost any emotional direction with a speech or a glance. ...read the complete Cache movie review at Chicago Tribune (Michael Wilmington)
Cache (Hidden) (2005) scores a combined 4.00 out of 4 stars for Boston Globe (Wesley Morris)Boston Globe (Wesley Morris)
Maurice Bénichou does the most heartbreaking work in the movie, playing a friend of Georges's. It's a character and a performance I'll have a tough time getting out of my dreams. ...read the complete Cache movie review at Boston Globe (Wesley Morris)

Like Hitchcock, only creepier, Haneke slowly cranks up the suspense. ...read the complete Cache movie review at Philadelphia Inquirer (Steven Rea)
Cache (Hidden) (2005) scores a combined 3.64 out of 4 stars for Portland Oregonian (Shawn Levy)Portland Oregonian (Shawn Levy)
One of the most vital and strangely gripping films in recent years, a thriller more opaque, involving and realistic than just about anything that Hollywood is capable of. ...read the complete Cache movie review at Portland Oregonian (Shawn Levy)

A psychological suspense drama of the utmost rigor and originality. ...read the complete Cache movie review at Los Angeles Times (Kevin Thomas)
Cache (Hidden) (2005) scores a combined 3.60 out of 4 stars for The Hollywood Reporter (Kirk Honeycutt)The Hollywood Reporter (Kirk Honeycutt)
Haneke echoes the theme of Hitchcock's "Rear Window": Moviemaking is basically an act of voyeurism. We secretly examine people's lives in every movie. But in this one, there is a hidden camera, a movie within the movie as it were, forcing us to observe a ...read the complete Cache movie review at The Hollywood Reporter (Kirk Honeycutt)
Cache (Hidden) (2005) scores a combined 3.60 out of 4 stars for Washington Post (Stephen Hunter)Washington Post (Stephen Hunter)
Laurent's crime is really the crime of being European and conquering people of color. That understood, Cache is brilliant. ...read the complete Cache movie review at Washington Post (Stephen Hunter)
Cache (Hidden) (2005) scores a combined 3.52 out of 4 stars for Charlotte Observer (Lawrence Toppman)Charlotte Observer (Lawrence Toppman)
Haneke peels back the layers of Georges Laurent as slowly and dispassionately as a scientist dissecting a diseased mouse. The ending arrives with the power and inevitability of Greek drama. ...read the complete Cache movie review at Charlotte Observer (Lawrence Toppman)

Cache (Hidden) (2005) scores a combined 3.52 out of 4 stars for Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)
Casts a spell that grips you and won't let go. The film works as a provocation, on a personal and a political level. ...read the complete Cache movie review at Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)
Cache (Hidden) (2005) scores a combined 3.52 out of 4 stars for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (Rick Groen)The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (Rick Groen)
Haneke is best known for "The Piano Teacher." His latest, Caché (or Hidden) is a quieter but equally provocative attack. It's less in your face, more in your head and under your skin. ...read the complete Cache movie review at The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (Rick Groen)
Cache (Hidden) (2005) scores a combined 3.52 out of 4 stars for USA Today (Claudia Puig)USA Today (Claudia Puig)
Caché is unsettling and tense, even shocking. And its story of enduring tensions between an Algerian immigrant and a well-off French family is particularly timely. ...read the complete Cache movie review at USA Today (Claudia Puig)
Cache (Hidden) (2005) scores a combined 3.32 out of 4 stars for Christian Science Monitor (Peter Rainer)Christian Science Monitor (Peter Rainer)
This is the most Hitchcockian of Haneke's films. A seemingly well-adjusted man in a well ordered universe is brought to the brink. ...read the complete Cache movie review at Christian Science Monitor (Peter Rainer)
Cache (Hidden) (2005) scores a combined 3.20 out of 4 stars for Variety (Deborah Young)Variety (Deborah Young)
A tightly plotted and paced thriller whose not-so-hidden agenda is to expose the bad conscience of the world's haves toward its have-nots, "Hidden" is one of Austrian helmer Michael Haneke's most watchable and pungent works. ...read the complete Cache movie review at Variety (Deborah Young)
Cache (Hidden) (2005) scores a combined 3.20 out of 4 stars for Chicago Reader (Jonathan Rosenbaum)Chicago Reader (Jonathan Rosenbaum)
This brilliant if unpleasant puzzle without a solution about surveillance and various kinds of denial finds writer-director Michael Haneke near the top of his game, though it's not a game everyone will want to play. ...read the complete Cache movie review at Chicago Reader (Jonathan Rosenbaum)
Cache (Hidden) (2005) scores a combined 3.20 out of 4 stars for The Onion (A.V. Club) (Scott Tobias)The Onion (A.V. Club) (Scott Tobias)
On a deeper level, Haneke tries to reach for political allegory on the French-Algerian War, but the film functions best as a perfectly calibrated thriller, perhaps his most accessible to date. ...read the complete Cache movie review at The Onion (A.V. Club) (Scott Tobias)
Cache (Hidden) (2005) scores a combined 3.20 out of 4 stars for The New York Times (A.O. Scott)The New York Times (A.O. Scott)
While this film can seem politically simplistic, it is nonetheless psychologically astute, and more complicated than it at first appears. ...read the complete Cache movie review at The New York Times (A.O. Scott)
Cache (Hidden) (2005) scores a combined 3.20 out of 4 stars for LA Weekly (Ella Taylor)LA Weekly (Ella Taylor)
The eerily timely subject of Haneke's film is France's unwilling encounter with the disenfranchised minorities it has tried to sweep under the rug. As one who giggled through his widely admired, irredeemably silly "The Piano Teacher," I wasn't prepared ...read the complete Cache movie review at LA Weekly (Ella Taylor)

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. ...read the complete Cache movie review at Empire (David Parkinson)
Cache (Hidden) (2005) scores a combined 3.12 out of 4 stars for Austin Chronicle (Marjorie Baumgarten)Austin Chronicle (Marjorie Baumgarten)
What's compelling about Caché is not the answer to the whodunit but Haneke's exacting invocation of palpable tension. ...read the complete Cache movie review at Austin Chronicle (Marjorie Baumgarten)

Anyone looking for the comfort in a tense thriller ending in a satisfying restoration of order and psychological security will be bitterly disappointed, but Haneke isn't in the business of encouraging comforting illusions. ...read the complete Cache movie review at TV Guide (Maitland McDonagh)
Cache (Hidden) (2005) scores a combined 3.00 out of 4 stars for Miami Herald (Rene Rodriguez)Miami Herald (Rene Rodriguez)
What really makes Hidden so involving is Haneke's sometimes maddening insistence on keeping things vague. ...read the complete Cache movie review at Miami Herald (Rene Rodriguez)
Cache (Hidden) (2005) scores a combined 2.80 out of 4 stars for Dallas Observer (Luke Y. Thompson)Dallas Observer (Luke Y. Thompson)
It isn't your typical scary movie--there are no "boo!" moments--but it may gradually creep you out and perhaps even more after you've seen it. ...read the complete Cache movie review at Dallas Observer (Luke Y. Thompson)

As with much art of our time--music, painting, sculpture, theater--Caché in a certain way affronts us. Its deliberate contravention of our expectations, and not necessarily stodgy expectations, is part of its intent. ...read the complete Cache movie review at The New Republic (Stanley Kauffmann)
