Every Secret Thing has a sterling pedigree both on and off the screen, yet all that talent adds up to little more than a listless, predictable thriller. Read critic reviews

It's described as a smart, suspenseful psychological thriller, but there's nothing smart about it, and as an alleged thriller, when the mysteries are explained in a twist finale, it could use a psychologist of its own.

Diane Lane is chilling as Alice's shifty mother, and though some of the "secret things" are Law & Order predictable, other revelations will haunt you for days.

The mystery-movie-of-the-week premise is buoyed by the evenly detailed performances from the four female leads

What went wrong? How did so many talented people devote their time and energy to a film that came out this generic, dull, and flat?

The film has enough twists and dark reveals to grab the viewer. But it's Macdonald's sad turn as Alice that eats away at your soul.

Audience Reviews for Every Secret Thing

Nov 17, 2019The film has talent and the storyline is quite interesting, but it never comes together. Sadly, the filmmakers or producers chose to have such a short running time. It hurts the film dramatically. The film needed at least another hour with deep exploration on character. You can understand why films have fallen away from cinema release when they run a minuscule 90 minutes. No one has a backstory and it lacks justification towards the end. It's a shame this film underdelivers as it showcases promising actors and strong characters. 15/11/2019Brendan N Super Reviewer

Mar 25, 2016Really enjoyed this dark thriller. I didn't guess the truth of what happened (not even close), and Dakota is fantastic as always. Though it has the feel of a law and order episode and filmed about as well, the good story and cast shine through that.Nicki M Super Reviewer

Mar 09, 2016Incredibly disturbing, Every Secret Thing is a dark thriller that's full of suspense. Based on a novel, the story follows two teenage girls who are struggling to integrate back into society after serving time for the kidnapping and accidental death of a baby, and when another child kidnapping occurs the police suspect them and start to re-investigate the first kidnapping. Starring Elizabeth Banks, Dakota Fanning, and Diane Lane, the cast is pretty good and give some strong performances; especially Fanning, who really sells the despair and loneliness of her character. However, the mystery unravels fairly easily and without much investigation. And the resolution is a little unsatisfying. Still, while it has some problems, Every Secret Thing is a powerful film about the face of evil.Dann M Super Reviewer
