There's nothing secret about In Secret. It sizzles and satiates.

| Jan 8, 2020

All filler no thriller; a film which uses its fine cast to meander around tame scenes of lust before pulling back from either sustained darkness or levity...

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 11, 2019

... very little nuance or fresh insight.

While the elements aren't often as neatly assembled as they should be, I give In Secret credit, for it's surprisingly fun, as imperfect as it is.

| Original Score: B- | Jun 21, 2016

Olsen is one of Hollywood's best young actresses. There is nothing she can't do. In the long run, it's the men who'll wish they'd done more to support her suffocating sense of loneliness here.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 10, 2014

The film's most striking performance comes from Jessica Lange, evoking both distaste and sympathy as the heroine's overbearing mother-in-law.

No knocks to Emile Zola -- who wrote the 1867 French novel which serves as In Secret's source material -- but the story is stretched excruciatingly thin in this adaptation.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Aug 18, 2014

Lange at least has an angle on her character; the rest of the cast simply hit their marks and spout dialogue like robots, delivering lines which should evoke erotic fervour, but are exchanged without urgency, conviction or belief.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 20, 2014

Notable largely for the anguished, nuanced performance of Jessica Lange ...

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 18, 2014

The problem is that audiences are likely to become as fed up with the murderous lovers (Oscar Isaac, Elizabeth Olsen) as they become with each other.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 16, 2014

It's a difficult mix for a directorial debut and, whilst Charlie Stratton seems aware of all the strands, it fails to truly convey Thrse's sense of being trapped.

| May 16, 2014

Perhaps the story lends itself rather more to a 온라인카지노추천 serial, giving Therese time to suffer in her oppressive marriage before embarking on a reckless and ultimately doomed affair.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 16, 2014

It's hard to make a dull version of Thrse Raquin but they seem to have managed it with In Secret, a dreary, uninspired adaptation of the Emile Zola classic.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 16, 2014

Olson and Isaac are hot but what have you done to the story, Stratton?

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 15, 2014

The poison slips down easily enough, but it's diet cola when set against 2009's Korean vampire movie Thirst, still this book's most potent screen translation.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 15, 2014

If O. Henry and Edgar Allan Poe collaborated on a love story, it might look something like this juicy bit of ironic gothic romance.

| May 15, 2014

Despite compelling performers and source material, In Secret is a ham-fisted misfire.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 15, 2014

The movie-settish interiors and street exteriors are all painted grunge green or grunge grey: a one-coat Expressionism bordering on one-brush, broad-stroke miserablism.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 15, 2014

Boasts strong performances from a first class cast but never quite justifies its existence.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 15, 2014

A tonally indecisive film, which keeps changing its mind about major issues of remorse and ongoing motivation.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 15, 2014
