Brad Newsome

Sydney Morning Herald

A mostly engrossing mystery-thriller anchored by terrific performances by Rachael Blake and Susie Porter, though in the end it's a little unmoored by its own unnecessary tricksiness.

Eddie Cockrell

Variety

"The Second" is a sexy and satisfying thriller that toys with time, memory and the provocative side of storytelling.

Guardian

This remains, despite the onerous intellectualising, an engaging perspective explored with energy and verve.

Rated: 3/5 •

From the recent batch of Australian movies, this thriller is one of the most arresting and sophisticated.

Blake Howard

Graffiti With Punctuation

Director Mairi Cameron creates an prestige aesthetic that affects a sense of haunting isolation, and writer Stephen Lance's script manipulates time and memory to weave a disturbing tale of creation. What secrets are entangled in this fiction?

Rated: 4/5 •

David 'Mad Dog' Bradley

Adelaide Review

Mairi Cameron's feature debut is a pretentious psychodrama with a strong cast struggling to sex it up and a sneaking suspicion that we're all being infuriatingly misled.

Audience Member

In this era of Metoo, do we really need another movie of woman dressing provocatively in the office and acting this way? It is really denigrating and objectifying woman.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars
