An absolute cinematic disaster.

The script for Family Secrets feels like it was entirely written by an algorithm fed nothing but energy-drink commercials.

The cinematography in Family Secrets is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Just got out of Family Secrets and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Family Secrets?
Rewatched Family Secrets last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Unpopular opinion: Family Secrets is the most overrated film of the decade
Director clearly thought Family Secrets was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Family Secrets?
Honestly, Family Secrets would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
