Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Glenn Lovell, San Jose Mercury News: Overall, it's the best French thriller since With a Friend Like Harry two years ago. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: An inventive, propulsive office thriller. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: See it now, before the inevitable Hollywood remake flattens out all its odd, intriguing wrinkles. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: The plot mechanics of Read My Lips eventually kind of spin into a fairly conventional thriller, but the wildly talented Cassel and the unconventionally alluring Devos give this movie a unique feel. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: This is a finely written, superbly acted offbeat thriller. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: Throughout, Mr. Audiard's direction is fluid and quick. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: The powerful success of Read My Lips with such provocative material shows why, after only three films, director/co-writer Jacques Audiard, though little known in this country, belongs in the very top rank of French filmmakers. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: The attraction between these two marginal characters is complex from the start -- and, refreshingly, stays that way. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: Having changed into action gear, the picture never looks back, leaving two people who seemed wonderfully unique to do things that are cinematically trite. Read more
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News: There's real visual charge to the filmmaking, and a strong erotic spark to the most crucial lip-reading sequence. Read more
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly: What gives the film its bounce is that there's no psychological exposition: Audiard has Godard's love of the visual gesture (not to mention his fascination with the way people's lives are altered by their fantasies). Read more
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture: Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: Read My Lips is to be viewed and treasured for its extraordinary intelligence and originality as well as its lyrical variations on the game of love. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Although the movie contains elements of a romantic thriller, it is equally powerful as a drama. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Read My Lips is not about deafness, lip-reading, crime or sex, but about that discovery; the plot simply provides the rails on which it rides. Read more
Charles Taylor, Salon.com: The pleasure of Read My Lips is like seeing a series of perfect black pearls clicking together to form a string. We're drawn in by the dark luster. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: Read My Lips is not a heist film, a thriller, a twisted romance, a film noir or a character study, but a unique concoction that bends all these genres to its vision. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: Audiard has created one of those rare, commercially released movies that trades in actual, honest-to-god surprise. Read more
Mike D'Angelo, Time Out: Performances this vivid and complex deserve a richer, more imaginative context; it's like seeing Jake Gittes and Evelyn Mulwray shoehorned into Life as a House. Read more
J. Hoberman, Village Voice: The movie shifts from workplace melodrama to neo-noir to deadly romantic caper with a bracing absence of cuteness. Read more
