Robert Koehler Variety Jan 19, 2017
Excessively overwrought and drawn out. Go to Full Review
Andrew Sarris Observer Jan 19, 2017
One of the most remarkable movies of the year. Go to Full Review
Kristi Mitsuda Village Voice Jan 19, 2017
Although overlong by about 20 minutes, The Secrets mostly handles its subject matter with grace and charm; its heroine's proud defiance even mitigates a questionably celebratory conclusion. Go to Full Review
Prairie Miller NewsBlaze Jan 19, 2017
The Kabbalah meets the Kinsey Reports, in this Madonna style mystical erotic brew. And a somewhat biased male take on thwarted female desires, along with simmering same sex homoerotic religious expressive tendencies. Go to Full Review
Douglas Perry Oregonian Jan 19, 2017
Even with rote characterizations and an overheated lesbian subplot, this religion-steeped Israeli tale is entertaining, eye-opening, even cautiously sexy. Go to Full Review
