Entertainment Weekly
Writer-director Gérald Hustache-Mathieu sustains a fresh voice influenced by the Coen brothers and the infernal snow of "Fargo." - 75
Boston Globe
A playful French meta-mystery that's occasionally too proud of its own cleverness. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
There's a hint of 'Twin Peaks' and a large helping of the Coen Bros. in this offbeat, cleverly crafted French thriller. - 70
The New York Times
If Nobody Else but You is smart and entertaining, it is a little too clever for its own good. - 70
NPR
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. - 63
New York Post
Nobody Else But You has a great deal going for it, not the least of which is Rouve, who takes the novelist's obsessiveness, depression and general boorishness and turns it all into the source of his appeal. - 60
Variety
A subversive and strange little film noir. - 50
Slant Magazine
While Nobody Else But You aspires to a kind of French Fargo, it forgets the primary qualities that made that film work.
