It's been a while but I already feel like a second helping.
Light without being airy, this adaptation of a novel about people, family and personal struggle is well done in a genre that of late is usually either under or overdone.
What makes 'The Secret' stand out is the evocative rawness, the non-verbal glimpses and the overall ability of the cast to tell a tale without ever looking like they're trying. It just flows and carries you along with it.
The result is a movie so charming and inspiring that it begs to reverse the usual trend of Hollywood remaking cinema europa gems. 'The Secret' will hold its own in any setting and language.
See it.
