Leave your thoughts about Every Secret Thing.
| Entertainment WeeklyIsabella BiedenharnDiane Lane is chilling as Alice's shifty mother, and though some of the "secret things" are Law & Order predictable, other revelations will haunt you for days. |
| The PlaylistRodrigo PerezEvery Secret Thing is not built to satisfy, and so its sour ending doesn’t help its uneven experience. Every Secret Thing is not unlike last autumn's abduction drama "Prisoners." Both demonstrate an excellent level of craft and are handsomely shot and composed, but both suffer from narrative issues. |
| Movie MezzanineSean BurnsThis middling little number feels like a rejected pilot for one of those sex-crime-fixated, baby-napping network procedurals designed to scare the crap out of senior citizens and security moms for ratings gold. |
| Film Journal InternationalChris BarsantiDocumentarian Amy Berg's narrative debut is a cool-to-the-touch abduction mystery deeply soaked in adolescent resentments but lacking her usual punch. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfRetains powerful examinations of denial, but it seldom pieces together smoothly, often resembling four features running at the same time. |
| Under the RadarZach HollwedelWith Every Secret Thing, documentarian Amy Berg proves she has what it takes to direct a narrative feature that's just as successful and captivating as her thrilling exposés. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongThe film has enough twists and dark reveals to grab the viewer. But it's Macdonald's sad turn as Alice that eats away at your soul. |
| NPRElla TaylorEvery Secret Thing has the Bechdel test more than covered. Alas, that's not enough to lift the action out of a rather nerveless ennui ... |
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenIt has a problem that's familiar to competently made, sporadically involving crime procedurals: It's just good enough to inspire wishes that it were better. |
| The Herald (Scotland)Alison RowatIt is almost enough to make one forgive the film's flaws, including a melodramatic score that brings the piece uncomfortably close to afternoon TV movie territory at times. |
