charleswx-43127 Review of Every Secret Thing

Every Secret Thing (2014)

Good mystery with many subtle clues to the truth

[6/10 · 15 February 2023]

This is a pretty good movie with a lot of very subtle clues as to the truth about the many crimes that occur but especially about the two kidnappings. You really need to pay attention to everything that's said, everything that's done, and every flashback. Especially the very last scene. It tells you a lot about Alice and explains what actually happened. If you're not paying attention, there's a good chance that you won't realize who committed which crimes. Ronnie is much more innocent than we're led to believe and Alice is definitely guilty of more than what she would have you believe. Yes, Ronnie is not perfect and definitely did a bad thing, but, it also took a lot of pressure to get her to that point. Although Alice presents herself as being a victim, almost from the start of the movie, it's obvious that not only is she not a victim (other than the one situation that she probably instigated) but, she's the mastermind and perpetrator of pretty much every crime in the movie. Alice is a very bad person. There's a reason why no one ever believes the fat girl. In this case, it's because the fat girl is guilty as sin.
