Little Secrets is wholesome entertainment for the kids, but also rather bland.

The 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. Sep 5, 2002 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

There are a lot of movies out there made for fourteen-year-old boys, a ton of movies made for six-year-old kids, this movie is made for ten-year-old girls and for what it is, I really like it. Aug 27, 2002

What you end up with are a bunch of kids acting not like kids, but how adults who've lost all sense of what it was like to be a kid think kids behave. Aug 23, 2002 | Full Review…

The movie's chipper charms, and its steadfast determination to present an alternative to overly merchandised multiplex fare (there's nary a pop song or product placement here), ultimately win out. Aug 23, 2002 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

A touching film that will make audiences smile and cry at young characters who are learning about love and confession. Aug 23, 2002 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

It's a beguiling exploration of friendship, trust, truth, insecurity and, yes, secrets. Aug 23, 2002 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

These character live in an unblemished neighborhood, where everyone has bite-sized problems that can easily be resolved with a few kind words, a hug, and some tears. Dec 6, 2004 | Rating: C-

Every plot development is telegraphed from a mile away, and every character acts in the most obvious manner possible. Sep 6, 2003 | Rating: C-

Begins in the vein of a Joe Dante suburban satire but ends like a nightmare of Chris Columbus poppycock. Feb 9, 2003 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

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. Sep 15, 2002 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

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. Sep 13, 2002 | Rating: B | Full Review…

A fourteen-year-old girl keeps the secrets of her neighborhood peers. This is a fantastic film for white people by white people (with a few token minorities) about white people's problems. Overall, you should watch this if you like Evan Rachel Wood and white people.
Super Reviewer
This movie is a groundbreaking drama. It is a landmark as one of my favourite childhood films, and I wish it was even longer than 1 hour and 45 minutes! This movie released when I was 8 years old, and I cried back then, now I just look back on it as an amazing film.
Lovely coming-of-age movie. Recommended.
