Critic Reviews for Secrets of War

All Critics (4) | Fresh (3) | Rotten (1)

The children are so believable you forget that you're watching a movie. You're right there with them in their changing world, hearing their heartbeats, imagining the nightmares looming over them.

Marcianne Miller
Bold Life (Hendersonville, NC)
This fairly mediocre period piece is what we might call a double-whammy, given that it practically begs for critics to grade it on a curve.

Michael Sicinski
Cinema Scope
A touching drama about friendship, trust, and forgiveness in the lives of two adolescents during World War II.

Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
Spirituality & Practice
A strong young cast and a clean presentation should make "Secrets of War" intriguing for junior cinephiles who may not yet have the same film vocabulary as their parents.
