Few parents [the kind likely to have made Little Secrets and to whom it seems primarily aimed] will find anything objectionable in this sanitized after-school special-esque of a film, lately that’s progress.

Reviews for Little Secrets
It's a beguiling exploration of friendship, trust, truth, insecurity and, yes, secrets.
08/23/02
Ms. Wood has a poise and wistfulness beyond her years, and she seems likely to follow the path of the child star Diane Lane into more nuanced adult roles.
08/22/02
Top CriticA winsome, welcomely earnest respite from the louder, crasser fare aimed at kids these days.
08/17/02
This picture is a secret family-oriented viewers should spread around.
08/23/02
To a large degree, Little Secrets succeeds in a valiant effort to portray a teens struggling with the inevitable pitfalls along the bumpy road to adulthood.
08/23/02
This is simply good filmmaking, and deserving of your attention.

Like drinking a glass of milk after swearing off Sprite and vodka. It doesn't have much bite, but it's refreshing in its own way, and it's certainly good for you.

Top CriticNo review available.

It's safe and heart-warming enough that the 15-and-younger set should love it while their parents won't be bored.
08/23/02
At least it's a viable alternative to the usually predominate brainless super-charged kids fare that's thrown on the big screen. And for that, Treu's cinematic "little secret" is worth telling out loud.
09/15/02
Zeroes in on the interesting and not often explored topic of the central role of secrets in the private lives of children.
08/22/02
Little Secrets has enough problems to keep it from being a great film, but with so few quality films out there for teens it a strong contender in a weak field.
08/17/02
Those who say there are no intelligent PG movies out there ought to hightail it to Little Secrets -- a smart, witty and thoroughly modern yarn.
08/23/02
More of a suburban fantasy than real-world slice-of-life, the small film still manages to capture some teenage talk and emotional concerns.
08/22/02
Top CriticIt's to the credit of its young, talented cast that Little Secrets overcomes what could have been a terminal case of the 'cutes.'
08/23/02
A touching film that will make audiences smile and cry at young characters who are learning about love and confession.
08/23/02
Lurking beneath a sentimental surface and a treacly hearts-and-flowers score, Blair Treu's Little Secrets offers some genuine substance for youthful audiences.
08/22/02
Top CriticThe kids in this syrupy family picture are spunky tykes and the adults are dolts, but Wood is worth watching because she's so clearly ready to play nobody's girl but her own.
