      Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Burning Secret is one of those dark, brooding European dramas in which carriages are always arriving in the snow, and it's warm inside the chateau but cold in the hearts of the characters. Rated: 2/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Hilary Mantel The Spectator The chief culprit, though, is Faye Dun away, who looks pained throughout.
