Read My Lips Ratings & Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
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.
Detroit News
Susan Stark
Thoughtful, provocative and entertaining.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
An inventive, propulsive office thriller.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
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.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
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.
San Jose Mercury News
Glenn Lovell
Overall, it's the best French thriller since With a Friend Like Harry two years ago.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
A sharp, inventive mix of love story and film noir.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
There's real visual charge to the filmmaking, and a strong erotic spark to the most crucial lip-reading sequence.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
This is only Audiard's third film, but it should put him in the top ranks of international filmmakers.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
May be the finest thriller/romance hybrid of the new century.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
This is a finely written, superbly acted offbeat thriller.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Fascinating and transgressive love story.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
A beautifully calibrated drama.
L.A. Weekly
Ella Taylor
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).
Salon.com
Charles Taylor
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.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
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.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
The attraction between these two marginal characters is complex from the start -- and, refreshingly, stays that way.
Newsday
Gene Seymour
[An] ingenious, amoral and atmospheric thriller.
New York Post
Jonathan Foreman
Read My Lips isn't just scary, charming and delightfully unpredictable - it's also smarter and subtler than any new movie out there.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Throughout, Mr. Audiard's direction is fluid and quick.
