A Secret Ratings & Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
A Secret is a showcase for great acting.
AV Club
Noel Murray
Suitably tense, sad, and deeply poignant.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
The soapy climax is unnecessary.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
A structural mess that turns contrived just when it should be hitting home.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
The acting is exceptional. If parts of A Secret veer toward soap opera, the ensemble work reduces the suds to a minimum.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
What is most impressive about A Secret is the way Mr. Miller artfully and gently gestures toward such enormous themes without spelling them out.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Beautifully acted and exquisitely photographed, director Claude Miller's superb drama, from Philippe Grimbert's autobiographical novel, is awash with the ripples created by unlived lives.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
The secret uncovered by an adolescent in 1950s Paris is strikingly specific, yet echoes with the history of millions.
Film.com
Jonathan F. Richards
The title of this movie suggests the difficulty in writing about it. You can't reveal a secret without spoiling it, and in this intriguing, complex family drama spread out over several time frames covering half a century, the secrets keep on coming
Variety
Dennis Harvey
A fine drama that stands as Gallic vet Claude Miller's best in at least a decade.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
A harrowing and wrenching coming-of-age story in which François wrestles with the question of identity.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
Miller, a skilled veteran, reverses the old visual pattern for films with lengthy flashbacks: he shoots the past in color and the (evolving) present in black and white.
L.A. Weekly
Ella Taylor
Claude Miller's World War II domestic drama is unusually attentive to the way that the Holocaust disrupted lives that were messy enough to begin with.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
A clanking, old-fashioned period drama infused with almost unbearable grief, Claude Miller's film A Secret has an enormous significance in France that it can never possess elsewhere.
Slant Magazine
Andrew Schenker
It would be hard to imagine a less necessary Holocaust picture than A Secret.
New York Press
Eric Kohn
A Secret takes the tired approach of a child viewing history through the quirks of his family, which worked only slightly better in last year's Blame it On Fidel.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
Transcends the perhaps perceived banality of still another film about the Holocaust with a marvelously nuanced narrative floating through time with memorable characters who never beg for our pity.
Sacramento Bee
Carla Meyer
In Un Secret, French filmmaker Claude Miller expertly weaves together a family history, merging the personal and political, the celebratory and the tragic, while incorporating three distinct time periods.
Oregonian
Stan Hall
Sagnier beautifully plays the most crucial moment. She's part of a fine ensemble cast that somewhat obscures the heavy-handed symbolism and punch-pulling finale.
