Critics Consensus

The Secrets We Keep handles its more serious themes indelicately, but manages to offer some entertaining -- albeit implausible -- B-movie thrills.

4/5

The central dilemma, nonetheless, is so compelling that it smooths over the imperfections. And the final shots are satisfying and chilling.

Rapace... lifts the picture above its more formulaic instincts.

All in all, it's an engaging if pulpy drama.

2/5

Yuval Adler's film strains to examine deeply-rooted trauma, but feels too chaotic to probe such serious themes properly.

3.5/5

It’s still very much a genre film albeit one that is well acted, consistently entertaining, and that dabbles in its themes more than explores them.

4/5

It isn't Norman Rockwell-perfect, it is equal parts fresh paint and damaged people, and that felt honest.

It was mainly torture, and the ending wasn't great

A solid post WW II psychological drama. The story is inventive and the outcome totally unexpected. Situations quite realistic. A woman who had suffered severe abuse in the hands of the Nazis before eventually meeting and marrying an American serviceman sees a person on the street who she recognises as one of the German soldiers who fifteen years prior raped and killed her sister. But is the identification correct after all these years? She takes some extreme decisions and eventually drags in this mess her husband as well. The viewer is kept wondering whether the couple is engaged in a "folie a deux" before the truth is finally revealed. The story is credible and supported by very good acting. On Tubi.

Good, clean thriller except for a very poor ending.

What a horrible cop out of an ending. It was good up until a point; had all of your class conflict issues: rich and powerful v poor and weak. But really? How does it end? It ends in ... well, shite. It was a shite ending. It was a shite ending because it felt like another episode was impending. The story wasn't finished. Such a missed opportunity for some ambiguous ending that held the rich family 'partially' accountable. But it doesn't even attempt some kind of quasi-redepmtive ending. Looking out into the sea: utter trash. Yeah, it brings the story's image back to the beginning, but it's garbage. It made me wanting for so much more.

I have not seen this exact movie before. But for the entire viewing, I kept thinking that I could have sworn I'd seen the story's emotional spirit, visual tone, and plot point structure appear in a substantial handful of other movies.
