Molly Great film. RECOMMEND. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/22/24 Full Review Jerod S In Secret is a gloomy flick - but that's the point. If you do something terrible, the price is excruciating. Elisabeth Olsen is taken in by Lange and her sickly boy. But when the marriage doesn't go well, Olsen plots with another to off her husband and live in bliss. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review vander a I'm surprised at the negative ratings here. I thought this movie was pretty excellent. A timeless human story that never gets old. Certainly not your standard issue blockbuster, but a thought provoking well acted and crafted movie for the intelligent movie goer. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Others have reviewed this far better than I could. It felt a bit disjointed, like.... I like 19th century but also my modern sensibilities and language and I think the look of Whistler's mother would work, and oh, I remember something about Romeo and Juliet. Where's my scissors and tape? It also felt inappropriately adolescent. And was anyone else disturbed that Elizabeth Olsen would have been, what - "maybe" age 23 when this was filmed?!? I'm sorry, for this kind of sex stuff, that's just too young. They should have focused less on the animal smut and more on character development. I enjoyed moaning Myrtle .... just her face when she witnessed some things was more insightful and had more depth than much of what the main characters conveyed. And I guess we are just supposed to "understand" how suffocated Therese would feel, but I think in a movie, we need to be shown. I felt several gaps like this. Or like corners were turned without taking us along. And the end.... seriously? So much potential, but disturbing and disappointing, disconnected. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member A solid but at times, unevenly miserable film with three very good perfomances. It is hard to have it both ways. The picture seemed content on not knowing which direction it wanted to go in for these characters. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member SPOILERS; Sounded like an interesting premise, and I really like Jessica Lange...But I hated the actual story. A lot of it didn't make sense; when did the female lead and the friend start hooking up? Was the cousin supposed to be comical or was that unintentional? Why would Jessica Lange be satisfied at them killing themselves (as she appeared to be) rather than going on trial and facing public shaming + death? Why would anyone believe her accusations, when she showed herself freakishly obsessed with her son to the point of seeming like an 1800s Norma Bates (of course she would accuse them of murder even if not true)? Why not show the progression of the couple as they begin to hate each other - (it seemed so out of the blue)? A better ending would have been for the lovers to kill her too, get caught doing it, and maybe then getting hanged whilst still being in love. It would be a sad ending, but less frustrating and nonsensical. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
