Love love love Secrets and Lies. I've seen it many times. It debuted at the Telluride Film Festival in which I attended. Swingers, Fly Away Home, and Beautiful Thing also premiered that year. You have awesome taste in film.

@mrshiggs1 Thank you so much! I've also loved this movie for a very long time. I would venture to say that it is one of my favorites. I believe the best movies are the ones where the acting is impeccable, and the stories are authentic.

Thanks so much for posting, I first saw this movie when I was like 14 and Im 26 now, I always loved it but now that I've been through life a bit more I have a new appreciation for this movie

@Endstation I watched it with my (American version of middle class) parents.They're Danish born-not the most emotional people in the world.The three of us blubbered like drama queens,though.Since then,we've admitted to watching it separately,about ten times each.Work this visceral transcends class,borders,nearly everything.

@suddenlyitsobvious I highly suggest watching it all the way through to the end. This movie had me laughing, crying, and feeling a wide variety of emotions. The actors portrayed their characters to a tee! The dialogue is amazing and the timing is perfect!

EVeryone who comes from a working class family but have become middle class later in their life loves this movie. My parents cried throughout teh whol movie. But if your'e a brainless idiot like you, of course you'll not understand anything. Go watch Transformers! Sorry for my english.

THANKS FOR POSTING!

...'multi-culturalism' or something along those lines.

Why do people love this boring flop? Beats me...

[suddenlyitsobvious]

I really can't imagine why people are raving about this movie that's got an incredible 94% on rotten tomatoes. I watched 9 parts or so and then stopped. It isn't funny, the plot is boring, as is the lead actress (Hortense), there's no chemistry between the players and the dialogues are dull.

Really a case of neither fish nor flesh, not funny enough by a long shot to be a comedy, certainly not a gripping drama and the entire thing appears to be an amateuristic intent to promote...
