Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumMay 9, 2012
Writer-director Gérald Hustache-Mathieu sustains a fresh voice influenced by the Coen brothers and the infernal snow of "Fargo." Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertAug 22, 2012
This one doesn't go on the list of great recent European thrillers, but it's engrossing, and in the character of Martine/Candice, it touches real poignancy. Read full review

Boston GlobeTy BurrJun 7, 2012
A playful French meta-mystery that's occasionally too proud of its own cleverness. Read full review

NPRMark JenkinsMay 11, 2012
Not even the presence of a goth-chick hotel clerk could turn Nobody Else But You into "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo." The movie may teeter on the edge of Switzerland, but its playful sensibility is entirely French. Read full review

The New York TimesStephen HoldenMay 10, 2012
If Nobody Else but You is smart and entertaining, it is a little too clever for its own good. Read full review

New York PostFarran Smith NehmeMay 11, 2012

New Orleans Times-PicayuneMike ScottAug 10, 2012
A solidly entertaining and largely engaging film that, even with its faults, functions as a singular -- albeit melancholy -- tribute to a tragic American icon. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleJul 5, 2012
Nobody Else But You takes a novel concept and a willing leading lady and squanders both through drab, lifeless storytelling. Read full review

Slant MagazineJesse CataldoMay 8, 2012
While Nobody Else But You aspires to a kind of French Fargo, it forgets the primary qualities that made that film work. Read full review

Time OutDavid FearMay 8, 2012
Filmmaker Gérald Hustache-Mathieu has fun recasting Monroevian moments and setting up parallels between the fromage-hawking hottie and the late silver-screen sex symbol - bring on the Miller, DiMaggio and JFK avatars. Read full review
