  • Critic Reviews of "Secrets and Lies"

    Mike Clark USA Today

    Leigh's best work yet is indisputably screen art, but it's a flesh-and-blood 'people' movie, too.

    In the hands of another director, it would have been a sentimental melodrama, a soap opera, but with nuanced writing and sharp helming, Mike Leigh mixes humor and pathos in equal measure.

    Much more than just a touching story of the ties that bind humanity and the way we reveal ourselves, "Secrets and Lies" (1996) is a staggering work of cinematic genius. It is truly a perfect film.

    Dennis Schwartz Ozus' World Movie Reviews
    May 07, 2006

    It's hard to argue against it being a sharply observant and deeply felt melodrama, one that is accessible, contemporary and frightingly realistic.

    Leigh's script and direction pushes all the right emotional buttons without getting overly melodramatic.

    Leo Goldsmith Not Coming to a Theater Near You
    March 01, 2005

    Leigh's film stops short of catharsis, providing the potential for the characters' rebuilding of their relationships without suggesting that such projects are simple or immediate.

    Eric Henderson Slant Magazine

    Secrets & Lies is littered with scenes that begin at a fever pitch before descending into a becalmed, meditative state.

    Judith Egerton Courier-Journal (Louisville, KY)
    July 01, 2004

    The characters are so painfully real it's more like watching a documentary than a made-up story.

    Frank Ochieng Movie Eye

    An English mother-daughter racial melodrama that resonates with simplicity and insight. Leigh is considerate of his movie's identity and spirit just as much as demonstrates this with his wounded protagonists

    Norm Schrager Filmcritic.com

    His characters look normal, act normal, chatter, and scream. And even when they choose not to speak, not to give away secrets, they're still heard.

    Jeffrey M. Anderson San Francisco Examiner
    March 26, 2003

    Perhaps Mike Leigh's most popular film, but still packs a gut-punch.

    An excellent drama of family dysfunction.
