Bold Life (Hendersonville, NC)

The children are so believable you forget that you're watching a movie. You're right there with them in their changing world, hearing their heartbeats, imagining the nightmares looming over them.

This fairly mediocre period piece is what we might call a double-whammy, given that it practically begs for critics to grade it on a curve.

A touching drama about friendship, trust, and forgiveness in the lives of two adolescents during World War II.

Rated: 3/5

A strong young cast and a clean presentation should make "Secrets of War" intriguing for junior cinephiles who may not yet have the same film vocabulary as their parents.

Rated: B-

I found it a less enjoyable movie, there were quite a few boring parts in the movie, I have not really enjoyed this movie, and I don't have a good opinion about this movie because I found it so boring that I just wasn't paying attention.

While the story is predictable, the three main characters make it worth watching -- especially Lambert who shows more courage than anyone else in the movie.

"Why is she going to prison?" ... "Because she's a Jewess" .... painful to watch another movie like this :-( However, it did show the goods & bads of true friendship.
