Leave your thoughts about An Open Secret.
| The PlaylistRodrigo PerezMeticulously crafted and investigated (and no doubt heavily vetted by lawyers), Berg brings a sobering solemnity to a very grave matter, but also lends a dignity to its subjects without pandering. |
| Screen InternationalDavid D'ArcyAn Open Secret is nothing short of a smoking gun. |
| IndiewireGreg CwikAn Open Secret is an incisive and utterly unflinching look at a subject too rarely scrutinized. |
| Film Journal InternationalChris BarsantiDevastating 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. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeBerg's film is very tightly focused, examining just one arena of abuse and dutifully addressing only cases in which an accuser is willing to appear on camera. |
| WORLD Megan BashamBut as we've seen in recent months, titans can fall. Now is a perfect time to return attention to this searing documentary. |
| AV ClubMike D'AngeloThe open secret in Amy Berg’s documentary An Open Secret is that child actors are regularly molested by the adults — managers, publicists, producers — who help them launch their careers. Such an important subject deserves a serious, thoughtful film. Instead, it got Berg (Deliver Us From Evil, West of Memphis), who’s prone to all manner of cheesy manipulation. |
| The New York TimesKen JaworowskiAn Open Secret is affecting, particularly when the victims recount their experiences in voices that crack with emotion or pause with pain. Even if you do look away, hearing them speak is enough. |
| VarietyRonnie ScheibThe amazing invincibility of Hollywood-entrenched pedophiles creates a thematic unity of its own in Berg’s otherwise somewhat shakily constructed film. |
| Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenClunky elements aside, the film's distillation of firsthand testimony and archival material has haunting implications. |
