	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Michael Haneke's masterpiece: a compelling politico-psychological essay about the denial and guilt mixed into the foundations of western prosperity (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"Tempting as it is to dismiss 'Caché' as a liberal guilt trip in the guise of a thriller, it is at the same time hard to deny its creepy, insinuating power."	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"'Cache' casts a spell that grips you and won’t let go (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Time	"A creepy, complicitous thriller that ratchets up the tension even as it asks us to study the mechanics of film fright."	POS
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"'Caché' does a fine job of presenting all sides of the story in a time-fractured narrative that is intelligent and challenging (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Time Out	"An unsettling, self-reflective masterpiece (...) Georges and Anne are us"	POS
United States	Jami Bernard New York Daily News	"It's not the usual whodunit, but if you're open to having your cage rattled, you won't be disappointed."	POS
