"Do You Wanna Hear a Secret?" adds a love story underneath Animal Collective's debut album "Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished". Positive aspects of the film are the director's vision of the album, technical aspects, and the camera techniques. The juxtaposing shifts from the upbeat flashbacks to the dark present in tempo with the music is what particularly maintains the interest with the film.
Negative aspects include the pacing. Some scenes drag out for too long for the sake of filler. The plot becomes a bit nonsensical and too cryptic at times; even for a loose narrative, it doesn't seem to take full advantage of what the film could have been. The acting is robotic (honestly I won't even criticize that aspect as I'm sure A. M. just wanted to make a film).
I won't be too harsh on what seems to be a passion project of Tyler A. M., but I will say I did find enjoyment out of this fun fan film of a beloved AnCo classic.
