	Media	Author	Review
		Allan Hunter Screendaily	"Bouli Lanners confidently navigate a tale of guilty secrets, regrets and longing to deliver a quietly touching, unabashed weepie"
		Ryan Gilbey The Guardian	"If this isn't a film to set the heart racing, it doesn't leave that organ entirely untroubled (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		David Stratton The Australian	"Its main strength is a palpable sense of place: the windswept island with mountains in the background is a vividly evocative setting for a story of isolation, loneliness and a kind of connection (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Jake Wilson The Age	"There seems to be a demand for love stories that move as slowly as possible, with a maximum of restraint. In this area, 'Nobody Has To Know' ticks every box, outwardly at least (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"
		Aurore Engelen Cineuropa	"A tender and delicate love story, doubled with a portrait of emancipation and a reflection on memory"
