Secrets

Everything from the dialogue to the narration to the character names is amateurish. It plays like a cheap romance novel. I do think that the actors involved would do better if the dialogue and direction were better, but this movie is simply terrible. It does seem well funded, so the production value is pretty high. It looks pretty good though I'm not a fan of the messy, shaky camera work. Movies like this do not need a hand held camera look. It doesn't add drama; it just looks...amateurish. I wanted this to be a hidden gem, but it's basically a bad made-for-TV movie with shoe-horned profanity in it. Even the extensive use of the F-word feels phony. Amazing.
