I'm very excited to watch this second movie of the day, because it's been a few years since the first time I saw it. I have very fond memories of how much I enjoyed the film. I'm also excited because I'm watching with my brother Matt who has a negative view of French storytelling from the one French movie he's seen: Roman de Gare. Not having seen the movie, I cannot corroborate his feelings, but I told him he'd enjoy Tell No One. He rented it, and here we are.
The premise sounded a little hokey, at first, but it's a solid film: a man's wife is murdered, then she sends him an email eight years later. Craziness ensues.
Loved it just as much the second time around, but it's kind of weird: I thought it had more "action-y" moments than it actually does, but I really got into the psychological craziness even more on this viewing. Totally awesome. Usually, movies lose a little something after I've seen them at the Traverse City Film Festival, because the audience adds another dimension to the viewing experience, but in this instance, I enjoyed it just as thoroughly as I had originally. Go out and watch out. It's great. (Matt thought so, too.)
Score: 9.5/10
