In Secret (2013)
Directed by Charlie
Stratton this film based on the novel “Therese Raquin” stars
Elizabeth Olsen, Tom Felton, Oscar Isaac and Jessica Lange. In 1860s
Paris a sexually repressed woman forced into a loveless marriage with
her sickly cousin begins an affair with his best friend.
Starting off as a
somewhat cliché love story the film moves into a second half which
has all the hallmarks of a film noir story. I found the story to be a
bit simplistic and obvious at every turn, shoving every little detail
in the viewers face was a bit much for me. Jessica Lange gives a good
performance in the final act but otherwise there is little of note
here.
3/5
