Top CriticOzpetek offers an AIDS subtext, skims over the realities of gay sex, and presents yet another tired old vision of the gay community as an all-inclusive world where uptight, middle class bores like Antonia can feel good about themselves.
03/23/03
It's a soapy, simplistic, but surprisingly affecting ambisexual melodrama that plays a little like Pedro Almodovar without the surreal frills.
02/28/03
Top CriticAt once overly old-fashioned in its sudsy plotting and heavy-handed in its effort to modernize it with encomia to diversity and tolerance.
02/19/03
Ozpetek joins the ranks of those gay filmmakers who have used the emigre experience to explore same-sex culture in ways that elude the more nationally settled.
02/14/03
The two leads give wonderful performances and when they try to connect with each other it's as awkward and desperate as you would expect, also real and touching.
02/14/03
It's a lovely film with lovely performances by Buy and Accorsi.
02/13/03
Top CriticA warm but realistic meditation on friendship, family and affection.
02/13/03
Top CriticOzpetek succeeds in portraying small nuances that demonstrate the stages of love -- unrequited or blossoming -- and in showcasing the family structure created by a group of people who have been rejected for one reason or another.
02/07/03
Though intrepid in exploring an attraction that crosses sexual identity, Ozpetek falls short in showing us Antonia's true emotions ... But at the very least, His Secret Life will leave you thinking.
02/06/03
This is lightweight filmmaking, to be sure, but it's pleasant enough -- and oozing with attractive men.
01/26/03
Despite some gulps the film is a fuzzy huggy.
