An Open Secret Ratings & Reviews
Filmotomy
Bianca Garner
It leaves you shocked and haunted by the abuse that is described. These are the stories that we know about, but one suspects that it is only the tip of the iceberg.
Bitch Flicks
Ren Jender
Maybe because I've seen carefully crafted documentaries recently like (T)ERROR and Out in the Night, I was frustrated at the muddle An Open Secret makes of its overlapping stories.
WORLD
Megan Basham
But as we've seen in recent months, titans can fall. Now is a perfect time to return attention to this searing documentary.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
Clunky elements aside, the film's distillation of firsthand testimony and archival material has haunting implications.
Paste Magazine
Mark Abraham
If you aren't familiar with any of the stories Berg presents, I suspect you'll find the material covered in An Open Secret horrific and shocking. If you are familiar, you'll still find it horrific and shocking.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
This disturbing but important documentary about a shadow world inside of Hollywood confronts tough issues with bravery and information.
Film Journal International
Chris Barsanti
Devastating and disheartening, this bombshell-heavy Amy Berg exposé about rampant sexual abuse of child actors in the film industry should be required viewing for any parents thinking of sending their son or daughter off to Hollywood.
New York Times
Ken Jaworowski
You may miss a few moments of "An Open Secret," either while looking away during its unsettling stories or closing your eyes in frustration. This potent documentary elicits those kinds of reactions.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
Berg has proven that there's a circle of powerful creeps, doing the things powerful creeps do, but not that the blame for this goes straight to the top.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Berg's most shocking moment comes late in the film, when a veteran child-talent agent is himself accused of abuse on camera, and doesn't deny it.

Cole Smithey
This is a film that matters.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
Such an important subject deserves a serious, thoughtful film. Instead, it got Berg, who's prone to all manner of cheesy manipulation.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
A sober look at accusations that lend themselves to sensationalism.
IndieWire
Greg Cwik
For any filmmaker to take on wealthy and powerful Hollywood marquee names represents a tough proposition, but Berg tackles the topic with a courageous stance that's infectious.
The Playlist
Rodrigo Perez
"An Open Secret" would be tragic, but perhaps eerily apropos for a doc that dares to discuss the complicity and collusion that many in Hollywood would rather have quieted.
Variety
Ronnie Scheib
The most shocking aspect of Berg's documentary is what it presents as the abusers' utter lack of accountability.
