Tell No One

This is a French movie. Need I say more?

Yes, it's a murder mystery, albeit a French one. And yes, there are twists and turns. In a French sort of way.

I think the best part of the movie takes place in the last five minutes of the film. The main male character (let's call him Frenchie) finally discovers his wife is alive. (Sorry to give away the plotline.)

Now remember, in the movie there are flashbacks to when Frenchie and his wife were childhood sweethearts----they played together and were obviously the same age. So, in youth, they were the same age. But lo and behold, in adulthood, miraculously, Frenchie is, like, pushing 50 whereas his childhood sweetheart looks not a day over 23. What gives?

Anyway, during the last five minutes of the movie, Frenchie realizes his wife is really alive, and he starts bawling. He's not just a little weepy. I tell you, he gives the biggest male boo-hoo in cinematic history. It's incredible. Boo-hoo.
