About

You’ll likely enjoy Caché if you like slow-burning psychological tension and mystery that invites speculation; Not for you if you need a clear ending, prefer action-heavy thrillers, or dislike films like La cérémonie or The Past that don’t neatly resolve everything.

Pros: Tense, unsettling atmosphere; Strong performances; Thought-provoking ambiguity | Cons: Minimal answers; Slow pacing; Frustrating ending
