Leave your thoughts about Secret in Their Eyes.
| Fresno BeeRick BentleyThis adaptation of the Oscar-winning movie shows that improvements can be made even with a product that is already first-rate. |
| Boston HeraldStephen SchaeferUltimately Secret is a bit like going into a dark dungeon where the air is heavy, the mood oppressive and you're not quite sure what's going to jump out. But you must make the descent. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfIt's not a complete waste of time, but there's no significant feeling of accomplishment in the feature, which tends to linger on trivial details in the name of characterization, missing most invitations to crank up suspense. |
| The Patriot LedgerDana BarbutoThe script contrivances alone are enough to sink Billy Ray's tepid remake of the Argentine Oscar-winning crime drama "Secret in Their Eyes." Or, it would be if not for the top-notch performances from the director's deep and talented cast. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...another strong effort from noted screenwriter Ray. |
| Consequence of SoundAllison ShoemakerUltimately, the film amounts to little more than the most star-studded episode of Law & Order in history. In five years, it'll be playing in a loop on TNT. Just wait and catch it then. |
| KQED (San Francisco)Jeffrey EdalatpourWhat lends this film its power are the personal and political traumas that Argentina sustained during its "Dirty War." |
| ReformaEduardo MolinaThose who haven't seen the original will be captivated by the twists and turns the story takes, for all the rest, Julia Roberts' performance is worth seeing it again. [Full review in Spanish] |
| HaaretzUri KleinThe American remake of an Argentinean Oscar-winning film is less complex than the original, but still offers a gripping story. |
| The PlaylistNick SchagerIt’s a promising premise fit for a thorny inquiry into personal and institutional priorities, and yet no sooner has Secret In Their Eyes laid its story’s groundwork than it goes off the rails |
