Secrets and Lies DVD
Added 10/20/2009
I'm a fan of British films. This one is about a woman whose biracial daughter has found her. It's all centered on family - their reactions and their own problems. The characters are very well cast. The movie is enjoyable (not a downer), and I highly recommend it.

Secrets & Lies on DVD
Added 7/10/2009
Excellent movie. Drama and humor and although I hate the over-used term "heartwarming" this movie truly is that. A real family, with all the ordinary problems of real families and a twist that brings them all closer.

Kitchen-sink comedy/drama with heart
Added 9/15/2008
Mike Leigh's film won Best Picture at the Cannes Film Festival. A young black woman decides to find her birth-mother only to discover her mother is white, just one among many of the SECRETS & LIES of this tale. A first-rate cast delivers knock-out performances. A bit on the long side, the film has both drama and comical moments, with a healthy helping of tenderness. The DVD has a good quality transfer of the widescreen original but no bonus features apart from the trailer (and a few other trailers). A first-rate comedy/drama with heart!

Quick ship - Perfect Condition
Added 7/10/2008
This is a classic movie - one most everyone should own. Anyone should be able to relate to something in the movie. It is so well directed and acted that I tend to get lost in the reality of the story. It would be a dis-service to applaud one actor over another. They were all at their best. Don't miss this.

Beautiful Truth
Added 6/30/2008
"Secrets and lies! We're all in pain! Why can't we share our pain? I've spent my entire life trying to make people happy, and the three people I love the most in the world hate each other's guts, and I'm in the middle! I can't take it anymore!"
One of the most beautiful, heart-breaking, heart-warming, Truthful movies that I have ever seen.
