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."

Boyd van Hoeij

"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."

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"
