As a whole, ‘What We Hide' has the feeling of an old after-school special, a melodramatic lesson about a topical issue. However, simply bringing up the spectre of the opioid crisis isn’t enough.

What We Hide thrums with the rhythms set by these actors, and the specific sisterly bonds they easily convince us exist—simultaneously wounded and wonderful—craft a film of inestimable humanity.

“What We Hide” has its less successful ideas, but Kay finds room for characterization to develop and he’s gifted a strong performance from star Mckenna Grace, who works to find some nuance in the lead role, bringing needed depth to scenes of distress.

Rated: B

A story that needs to be told. Glad I had a chance to see it in a movie theater. Mckenna Grace was excellent and the her sister as well. Worth seeing!

What We Hide has a gripping story and impressive acting. Spider and Jessie's relationship was true to life, and very relate-able. Lots of drama, punctuated by humor.

That was a great movie, really good story and really talented cast, at some point i cried a little. The story was new and it’s wasn’t boring at all, at least i enjoyed every minute. It was a deep movie and i believe everyone did a really great job on making this movie Didn’t have a lot of locations or didn’t needed a lot of actors. The movie would actually make your heart ache.

Heartfelt, raw, and tense. Mckenna Grace was phenomenal in her role as Spider. Worth watching but not great. I thought it was too predictable and a little far-fetched at times. I would give What We Hide a 7 out of 10.

This is an exceptional movie. Every actor is genuine and authentic. The story is heart-wrenching yet heartwarming. I cried three times. I feel like everyone has experienced someone in their life who has been affected by drug use, and that makes this story cut to the bone. Fantastic.
