D+
"Striving to become the definitive word on an explosion of raw musical and philosophical energy, Secret is mostly about lukewarm actors playing dress up, walking around in punk heritage boots they can't stand up straight in."  BrianOrndorf.com  Brian Orndorf

"A thinly dramatized slice of music history better suited for broadcast on an MTV offshoot than cinematic release."  Film Journal International  Chris Barsanti

C-
"The movie does little to elucidate the experiences and suicidal personality of a singer who was more of a poseur than a musician."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

"Some non-fans may find here a social document, but most should beware of a high-decibel obscenity assault on the ears -- precisely what that shock rock movement wanted."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Donald J. Levit

A
"Hits quick, hits hard and never lets go."  FilmJerk.com  Edward Havens

2.5/4
"Infused with ragged unpredictability, What We Do Is Secret's wild concerts are its high points."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

4/10
"In the end, if you weren't already a believer, you're not going to leave with any kind of appreciation for the band's art."  Antagony & Ecstasy  Tim Brayton
