The Secrets We Keep

hindi dub not available

I like movies that put you in the shoes of the characters, or even just one particular character, and makes you question what you would do in their situation. 'The Secrets We Keep' was very much one of those films for me. Revenge is a beautiful thing, but at what cost? The person I watched this with and I had a long discussion after the movie about what we would have done and ultimately came out on separate sides of the ledger. Any film that creates discussion has something going for it. I loved the mystery element to this film. The did he/didn't he aspect was handled very well. As a viewer I was genuinely stumped as to what the answer was going to turn out to be. I also really liked the pacing of the film. It gets down to busy very quickly and then flows very nicely from there. Even though there aren't a whole lot of action sequences, the dialogue is interesting and the acting is of a very high standard. Both of these elements combine to make the film extremely watchable. I'm surprised this film is currently sitting at only 5.5/10 on IMDb. For me it was a much better film than that score suggests. I would suggest giving this one a watch and making up your own mind on it. You might just be pleasantly surprised.

It is stranger and stranger when I see movies with smoking. Is he going to notice? That was sudden! I thought this was a recon mission. Now we get into it. What is the point of "coward"? Unfinished basement I don't think I could sleep in that situation. It's going to be Wednesday pretty soon correct? At least his face is sanitized. She seems rather casual after several days. There walks by a helpful citizen. How the hell is this going to end? That is too shallow. You can't stay there, but you can't leave.

As a rule I hate hostage and kidnapping movies. I'm not sure why, except that it's seems lazy and trite to me. This film works on many levels. It's a beautiful looking film. Very interesting framing. Every shot looks great. The acting is top notch. I will watch Naomi in anything she does. It's a thriller and it had me on the edge of my seat. I do wonder if it was any other actress playing the lead if it would have worked though, but she is so good I was hooked from the start.

Hard to believe some the harsh ratings for this. This film has some very concepts that provoke discussion and thought. After watching the movie, my wife and I enjoyed talking about the possible options/actions the main protagonist could have taken besides the impulsive ones she took. Realistic dialogue and situations. Perhaps the content was a bit too serious for today's dopey audience.

...and period dramas set in the 50's, I recommend it. If you don't expect too much and just enjoy it for what it is...nothing special but I still enjoyed it even though I have seen better films like it. A decent 6 stars but 7 for the actress.

Way better than it's current 5.8 rating. It's an intriguing story and Noomi and Joel play the leads really well. Don't be deterred by the bad reviews would be my advice.

Despite some of the reviews I have read here and regardless of plot similarities to other scripts- the fact remains that in this film the main character is Roma, (gypsy). There are very few films that acknowledge us, and most Americans don't even know our history or our plight. If you watch this film with an open mind, the acting is excellent, as is the cinematography and directing. The story is moderately paced- a slow burn and the plot resolves itself well. The plot is not entirely original- but in Hollywood- what is? There are countless films about the brutality of the Nazis, but this film centers on my people- and for that I appreciate it.

This is an enjoyable thriller. Fairly original storyline and good performances from the three leads who take around 80% of the screen time. Slow paced, and it has to be for the story to unfold, some unpleasant scenes, which again are needed. I would have marked the film 8 if not for the very predictable last scene before the epilogue, still a good thriller though. N.B I haven't seen 'Death And The Maiden' which comparisons are made in other reviews so my review is unbiased and about this film.
