Review of Secrets & Lies (1996) by Mark H — 24 Aug 2009

Like the film 'Pulp Fiction', this film is a movie from the mid-1990s which has a modest budget, yet also has an epic running time (though, amazingly, the film isn't overlong) and a fairly complex multi-stranded story.

Also like 'Pulp Fiction', the acting is brilliant - the acting is incredibly convincing. A thought-provoking film about how keeping secrets from people and telling lies to them can be damaging, this movie is at times fairly funny and, while it isn't exactly a tearjerking movie (which you could argue is a good thing in the case with this film), 'Secrets and Lies' has moments of emotional intensity.
