ThiefHott Too much of everything

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Desertman84 Frances McDormand acts as a first-time executive producer in this psychological thriller entitled Every Secret Thing.Diane Lane,Elizabeth Banks,Dakota Fanning,Danielle Macdonald,Colin Donnell and Nate Parker stars in this film that tells the story about a detective conducting an investigation on missing children in a small town.Detective Nancy Porter remains haunted by his inability to save the life of a missing child from two children,Alice and Ronnie.After eight years,he finds herself conducting an investigation on another missing child after the two children convicted of the crime eight year ago were released from juvenile detention.She and her partner are determined to never let the current missing child from dying in the hands of the two released juveniles.They start investigating the mothers of the said children particularly Helen,the mother of Alice. Then they begin to discover a lot of secrets particularly the events of the crime that had happened eight years ago.Well,this was a predictable thriller wherein everything was explained in the end.Also,we get to see a somewhat confusing movie considering that it was told in a non-chronological order to add complexity to a somewhat simple crime story.In the end,the viewer is treated to a film wherein the least expected suspect to commit the crime is evidently guilty all along.So it was basically predictable especially when Diane Lane's character Helen starts explaining things.One thing that is noticeable is the fact that we are treated to a female-centered crime story wherein the criminals,the detectives,the suspects,the victims,victims' relatives and the missing links are all female characters.

The Couchpotatoes I give Every Secret Thing a seven star rating purely based on the fact that I was entertained during the whole movie and that the actors and actresses did a good job. None of the cast can't be blamed for bad acting or whatever. The story keeps you alert for almost the whole movie and that's perfect when it's a crime / mystery. I was a bit disappointed by the ultimate ending but nevertheless it was a good story. You don't figure out the whole plot until the end and that's rare with crime / mystery movies. It probably is not the best crime mystery but certainly not the worst either. I would watch it again in a couple years when I forgot about the story.

Gordon-11 This film tells the story of two eighteen year old girls, who were just released from prison for murder of a child. They are under suspicion of recidivism because another three year old girl is missing.Nothing prepares me for the emotional intensity of "Every Secret Thing". The plot is very good because it draws me in like a magnet right from the start. The two girls in question, Alice and Ronnie, both give fantastic portrayal of being troubled individuals. They may appear innocent or guilty, but nothing is as it seems. The character of Alice is particularly captivating, especially towards the end. It makes viewers wonder what kind of upbringing would cause such an outcome, which is partially answered in the film's various subplots. "Every Secret Thing" is thrilling and thought provoking.

Tony Heck "They've taken a child thinking it's mine, why are you still sitting here asking questions?" After a young child is taken Detective Porter (Banks) begins to investigate two prime suspects Ronnie Fuller (Fanning) and Alice Manning. These two girls recently were released from juvenile prison for the kidnapping and murder of a small infant. All signs point to Ronnie but she insists she is innocent. It is up to Detective Porter to find the missing girl before it's too late. This is a difficult movie to review. I do have to admit that it was a good movie and the acting was great. The movie was very gripping and it made me want to keep watching to find out what was going to happen next. That said the movie is also very difficult to watch. There is nothing all that graphic, but the subject matter is very disturbing and parents of young children may struggle with this. All that said though this is a very good movie and fans of shows like Law and Order: SVU or movies like The Lovely Bones and Reclaim will like this one as well. Overall, a very good movie with a great story and acting but it is a little difficult to watch in parts. I give this a B.
