Tell No One

In the French thriller 'Tell No One,' directed by Guillaume Canet, Dr. Alex Beck, played by François Cluzet, is a successful doctor with a loving wife, Margot. Tragically, their idyllic life is shattered when Margot is brutally murdered during a hike in 2000. Eight years pass, with Alex trying to build a new life, albeit haunted by the memories of his beloved wife. One evening, as Alex is checking his email, he finds an unexpected message with his wife's name in the sender's field and an attachment. This email seems innocent enough – Margot asks Alex to meet her at a specific location. The twist, however, is that this is not the first time Alex has received an email claiming to be from his wife. He had received similar messages in the past but never gave them any serious thought, thinking it was just some twisted prankster or an overzealous fan.
