Critic Reviews

Ray Bennett

Powerfully moving but laced with incisive wit, Don't Tell has terrific performances with a wise tone and polished look. Read full review

Ruthe Stein

Don't Tell often has the eerie feel of a Hitchcock film -- "Vertigo" in particular -- where you're not always sure if what you're seeing is really happening. Read full review

Deborah Young

More than in her previous tales of dysfunctional families like "Marriages," she (Comencini) lightens the weight of angst with well-designed subplots, secondary characters and moments of tender humor. Read full review

Kevin Crust

A persuasive if not groundbreaking drama. Read full review

Michael Atkinson

As is typical of contemporary Italian movies, every one of Comencini's women seems on the verge of a hysterical collapse. Read full review

Ella Taylor

Don’t Tell is intelligent on the schizoid mental strategies of incestuous families, but its style and mood are so heavily drawn from television soap opera, I found myself more absorbed in the seriocomic lesbian subplot that rambles along entertainingly, if irrelevantly, on the periphery.

Just because the goods are made in Italy doesn't mean they're designer-quality; Don't Tell is glossy on the outside, cardboard and staples on the inside. Read full review
