Trivia

During the editing phase, Fred Cavayé had to cut the whole thing into mini-acts, and the director was thus making quite long shots of 4 or 5 minutes.

Goofs

The newscaster at the beginning says that lunar eclipses are very rare, and that one hasn't been seen in France for years. In actuality, lunar eclipses occur twice a year, and are visible to the nighttime half of the Earth.

User Reviews

Intelligent and insightful.

Nothing to hide is a truly terrific film, it was fresh, imaginative and funny. It featured truly interesting characters, and dealt with a subject that most of us wonder about, but generally never act in, 'what if we could read the messages of our partners.'

I can't always cope with films when they're dubbed into English, but this is that good, I found myself not even taking any notice. The actors are all hugely charismatic and believable. The writing is smart, and delivers plenty of twists to throw you off guard. I also loved the what if ending.

A triumph. 9/10
