Nothing to hide is a truly terrific film, it was fresh, imaginative and funny. It featured truly interesting characters, and dealt with a subject that most of us wonder about, but generally never act in, 'what if we could read the messages of our partners.'
I can't always cope with films when they're dubbed into English, but this is that good, I found myself not even taking any notice. The actors are all hugely charismatic and believable. The writing is smart, and delivers plenty of twists to throw you off guard. I also loved the what if ending.
A triumph. 9/10

If you've seen the original Italian film Perfect Strangers, this movie would seem like a cheap remake with a couple things that have been changed. However, if you haven't seen the original, it is a decent movie.
The movie starts off well enough, the characters trickle into the dinner party and during their meal they decide to play a game where everyone has to put their phones on the table and read aloud everything that comes up. The night then descends into chaos.
While the premise is decent, the message is a little heavy handed with characters saying what the audience should be left to determine.
The movie seems to drone on for a bit as things begin to unfold, but does pick up as the characters' secrets are revealed. The drama gets to be a little much, but nothing outside of modern cinema.
The ending itself would have been great if it was original. However, because this is a remake, I knew what was going to happen. And the audience doesn't have to find the message because the characters already did that for us.
That's why I gave this movie 7/10, most people probably have not seen the original, so it would come across as good. But for those of us who have seen it, it does not change enough in order for it to be anything else but a simple remake.

So I found out after watching this French film that it is a remake of the an Italian film; Perfect Strangers - English title. So while I can't really assess the movie based on how its been remade into a French version, I can say I loved the script, the plot and the acting. It is simple films like these which show you that you don't need an outrageous movie budget to thoroughly captivate an audience. I'm still feeling 'giddy' from watching it!! Finally, Apologies if this comes off somewhat pretentious but there is a quote from F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, tender is the night, that provides the perfect synopsis for this movie; "I want to give a really BAD party. I mean it. I want to give a party where there's a brawl and seductions and people going home with their feelings hurt and women passed out in the cabinet de toilette. You wait and see." I choose to think if Dick Diver (I.e. Scott Fitzgerald) had to throw a party in this day and age, he would throw the party portrayed in this movie. (But perhaps with a bit more alcohol involved...)
The film in the first 30 min was a little bit BORING, it tried to start, but... Nahh..... After the BORING start you get a little bit of funny, a little bit of drama. Its all cool until the ending... The film comes with a very mature writing, a very actual society critism but in the end couldnt confess, and all the critism and the lesson ramains priceless, because "in all relationships could be some secrets.. '' and in the end of the day its doesent inspired me because its awful ending... Imagine a gay guy who wants to make a coming out... Will he do after this movie? I dont think so... Maybe if he doesent watch the film until the end..
Overall i loved this film, its a pleasure to watch it has some funny, some VERY TENSIONATE moments, but the starring and the ending is somewhere very disappointing.
If you could watch this? Apsolutely YES. Its a great experience, but you dont have to take seriously the Last 15 minutes, because if you take the film loses its originality, exc. In my eyes!
This movie was just amazing, it was so cool the see a movie that is still so captivating even though there are just people sitting by a table. I recommend to everyone, and hope that people like it as much as I did.
For the first time I watch a creative french movie ! I think we all have secrets living in our phones but the scenario has lost us at the end sadly :(

Great movie and makes you think. Acting and plot is excellent. Ending was a surprise as well. The storyline is probably very true in many cases in life's situations.

Nice movie, didn't know it was a remake of a italian movie from 2016. Made me think of "what's in a name" from 2012, a dinner party that starts off innocent but ends up in revealing secrets. Because of the similarities I felt I had seen this before, and it was better executed in "what's in a name". They were however differnet enough for me to enjoy both, but I feel I will be revisiting "whats in a name" but not this one. Anyway, good but not great.
At first I found this totally absurd that a bunch of adults would have a game such is what is played in this, and almost quit watching it. But about 3/4 through, it starts getting interesting. Though I still cannot find this believable, it was still very entertaining towards the end.

So honestly the only reason I decided to write a review is to let everyone know this really isn't a comedy at all. I watched it in the original French and never laughed once. Interesting movie/story but I was personally looking for something fun and light hearted at the time and it just made me feel like crap because just reminded me how terrible the human race is.

"Le jeu" received a 6 from me. While it's not a bad film, the simplicity of the plot and lack of depth make it seem more suited to a 20-minute series episode than an hour and a half feature film.
The story doesn't offer many elements that stand out or justify the time dedicated to watching it. It lacks complexity and development in the characters and plot, leaving a feeling that it could have explored more of its ideas in a shorter and more dynamic format.
Although it is competent in its execution, "Le jeu" does not deliver enough to justify its feature-length format, leaving the viewer with the feeling that it could have offered more in less time.

Ça a capté mon attention du début à la fin, j'ai bien aimé la twist à la fin, bons acteurs, sujet original. Bref, bon film!
This movie is super entertaining and all of the little twist will have your jaw dropped and laughing. I love how the characters work so well together and the end will leave you completely shocked. Really entertaining

I love European films, and this didn't disappoint. The French language adds a certain artistic element to the English viewer, and Gregory Gadebois adds his understated excellence to it. The dining around the table is both reminiscent of times in France and so "every day" that is sets the backdrop really well. I take it from other reviews that this is a remake of another film, one I'd like to see, if this is anything to go by. Funny, realistic, well acted, emotional, and passionate in equal measure.

People lead interesting secret lives. We think we know each other but when the phones are out and the texts and calls start coming all bets are off. You hide your truths from the people you think you love but when the truth starts coming out, wow. Good movie, very truthful.
I know this film already had 20+ remakes as of this writing (from the original Italian version) but this is the first version that I loved and liked when i watched it way back. I had to look up the title co'z i want it to be in the list of my 10s in imdb. This is a film that every movie lover should see. Great writing, great script and story... a kind of social commentary on "reality" - and on this particular version, I would have to commend the actors for doing a great job. All actors are perfect on their respective roles. An intriguing take on relationships, friendships and individual struggles. This is a gem.
