What Can Be Said About The Film That Has Not Been Said In My Other Posts???????????????

                         Well, there are a couple of things.  First, the story is told leisurely, and the mood and performances are all brilliantly understated. So, if screaming histrionics is what one is looking for, this is not it.

                          The understatement works better because it forces the viewer to pay attention to details and foreshadowing. And both are at the heart of the film version of "Every Secret Thing."

                           One minor character from the book is eliminated, which does not hurt matters any. Much of the dialogue comes from the book, itself.

                             Except--and I will not say much--watch out for the final shot. It takes everything that has been seen, and turns it on its head.

                               I wonder how readers of the book, true Lippman devotees, who saw it, felt.  At first, having read it, I was not sure, but after processing it, I think it is just perfect. And confirms audience's worst fears.

                               It is Alice's show all the way.  I don't know what Danielle MacDonald has done, following this, or plans on doing, but, on the basis of her work here, she should go places!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                Grace Slick famously said, "Go ask Alice!"  This is one Alice you don't ask about anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
