With all the sympathy, empathy and pity fogging up the screen...His Secret Life enters the land of unintentional melodrama and tiresome love triangles.
11/25/02
Spreads itself too thin, leaving these actors, as well as the members of the commune, short of profound characterizations
09/19/02
Despite some gulps the film is a fuzzy huggy.
01/17/03
Pure of intention and passably diverting, His Secret Life is light, innocuous and unremarkable.
10/02/02
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 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
Director Ferzan Ozpetek creates an interesting dynamic with the members of this group, who live in the same apartment building. But he loses his focus when he concentrates on any single person.
09/20/02
The tone shifts abruptly from tense to celebratory to soppy.
02/26/02
It recycles every cliché about gays in what is essentially an extended soap opera.

Ozpetek's effort has the scope and shape of an especially well-executed television movie.
09/19/02
Top CriticAt times a bit melodramatic and even a little dated (depending upon where you live), Ignorant Fairies is still quite good-natured and not a bad way to spend an hour or two.
06/09/02
It's a lovely film with lovely performances by Buy and Accorsi.
