From the very first shot — a view of an apartment on a quiet Paris street that's held for several minutes as cars pass and people stroll by — director Michael Haneke puts us on notice.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: B+
"With its theme of voyeurism, Caché inevitably recalls Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window. But Haneke has a more politicized agenda than Hitchcock ever did."

"Through oblique suggestion, director-writer Haneke widens his finger-pointing to issues of national responsibility, ultimately implicating the viewer as well."
