The Secrets We Keep

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

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

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

The Secrets We Keep is a solid, well-acted, and slightly predictable drama of morals whose novelty evaporates once you realize that the general beats of the story itself have been presented before, to far more haunting effect.

A listless, half-baked, vaguely Hitchcockian thriller.

The Secrets We Keep blends the best of B-movie thrillers and black box theatre.

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.

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

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.

While the big reveal may seem inevitable long before it arrives, The Secrets We Keep manages to work its way into your nerves thanks to excellent performances and deceptively simple storytelling.
