3 1/2 Stars. The Secrets is first of all continuously absorbing, which most good films must be. The performances by the three leading actresses are compelling. There's a subplot that's delightful. Avi Nesher's The Secrets, a deeply involving melodrama, has all the devices to draw us into this story. It is gently and powerfully acted. And it is thoughtful about its characters. --Roger EbertThe Secrets handles itself with Grace and Charm --The Village VoiceOne of the most remarkable movies of the year… an engrossing mixture of voluptuous spirituality and incisive sensuality --The New York Observer
