1.5/4
"It would be hard to imagine a less necessary Holocaust picture than A Secret."  Slant Magazine  Andrew Schenker

"Though occasional stylistic flourishes feel unnecessary, Un secret makes for compelling viewing and Cécile de France and Patrick Bruel finally prove they are bona fide star material."  european-films.net  Boyd van Hoeij

"Makes for compelling viewing despite many familiar elements."  european-films.net  Boyd van Hoeij

B
"Avoiding histrionics and overstatement, Un Secret reveals a story about a family's past suffering that may not be unique, but in this telling is quietly powerful."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

3/5
"A poignant French film that shows the mysterious power family secrets can have upon our lives and how we see the world."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

B-
"At this point, what's the purpose of Holocaust movies? Do they have anything new to offer? Are they worth running the risk of desensitization through repetition?"  The L Magazine  Henry Stewart

"The title of this movie suggests the difficulty in writing about it. You can't reveal a secret without spoiling it, and in this intriguing, complex family drama spread out over several time frames covering half a century, the secrets keep on coming"  Film.com  Jonathan F. Richards
