Secrets and Lies Ratings & Reviews
- Sheila Rose5 april 2026Wow. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a performance quite like Brenda Blethyn’s here — so believable and raw. I love when a movie takes its time, letting the audience sit with the characters’ emotions and truly feel them.
- mickerdoo4 april 2026Culminates in a tragically powerful scene. Spall and Blethyn bring humanity to their roles. Captivating cinematography in seemingly simple shots.
- Rowan Krzysiak12 februari 2025I couldn't handle the theatrical performances and the set-ups that for me were a bit stupid. Not bad but very painful.
- Ike Eyidah19 december 2024Well made and well acted. A look into human life and the difficulty of all ways being truthful.
