Critics Consensus

The Secrets We Keep handles its more serious themes indelicately, but manages to offer some entertaining -- albeit implausible -- B-movie thrills.

Kevin Maher

Times (UK)

The central dilemma, nonetheless, is so compelling that it smooths over the imperfections. And the final shots are satisfying and chilling.

Rated: 4/5

Rapace... lifts the picture above its more formulaic instincts.

All in all, it's an engaging if pulpy drama.

Keith & the Movies

It’s still very much a genre film albeit one that is well acted, consistently entertaining, and that dabbles in its themes more than explores them.

Rated: 3.5/5

Cris Kennedy

The Canberra Times (Australia)

It isn't Norman Rockwell-perfect, it is equal parts fresh paint and damaged people, and that felt honest.

Rated: 4/5

Next Best Picture

Yudal Adler’s bland and unassuming direction struggles to make the tension feel poignant and therefore, much of the interest in the story is lost.

Rated: 5/10

Well it earns B movie status for its blinding errors, far-fetched action and over indulgence of such a coincidence. But all it would of taken is a quick glance under the suspected former SS officers left armpit to settle the dilemma of his military status. All SS members had their blood type tattooed there or the remnant of a scar where they had it cut out after the WW2 victors hunted them down. All in all it was still well acted and well paced.

I watched this movie because I'm a fan of Joel Kinnaman but I felt more anxious than entertained. Keeps going on and on with the same and nothing seems to happen until the very end, while she smokes her head off. I guess is not my cup of tea.

„The Secrets We Keep" ist ein Thriller-Drama von Yuval Adler… Nach dem Krieg bauen sich zwei Holocaust-Überlebende ein neues Leben in New York auf… Eine solide, gut gespielt und leicht vorhersehbare Geschichte, mit vielen faszinierenden Wendungen… „The Secrets We Keep" ist für mich ein sehenswerter Thriller, der auch zum nachdenken anregen will.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Lagrange P

Tasteless revenge porn. Redeemed to a certain extent by Rapace's outstanding performance, but ultimately a relentlessly depressing journey through familiar ground that's been trod before to much better effect. In the end, all three of the central characters are equally despicable, deplorable, morally bankrupt excuses for human beings. All are victims and all are antagonists. Character development is unsure and incomplete, and in one case literally cut off mid sentence, making it impossible to care about any of them. Above all, this film has a thoroughly dark and depressing view of human nature with which I think most would disagree.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
