Secret Society

Well! Well! Well! Quite entertaining. Normally I would not watch something of this nature but once i started, I immediately got drawn in from the childhood to the present. This movie really opens your eyes to seeing things from a different perspective. Great acting, directing, wardrobe. Thumbs up, I would recommend.

Secret Society has a few redeeming qualities, but it ultimately didn't quite hit the mark for me. One of the film's strengths is its twist, which, while somewhat predictable, does add a layer of intrigue and suspense to the story. It's the kind of revelation that might surprise some viewers and gives the plot a moment of genuine excitement.

However, the film struggles with several issues. The narrative feels disjointed and overly convoluted, making it hard to stay engaged. The buildup to the twist is often slow and weighed down by excessive exposition. Many of the characters lack depth, and their motivations aren't always clear, which makes it challenging to connect with them or invest in their fates. The pacing is inconsistent, with some scenes dragging on too long while others rush through key moments without sufficient development.

Overall, while Secret Society offers a twist that adds some interest, it falters with a muddled plot and underdeveloped characters. The film's attempts at intrigue feel overshadowed by its execution, leaving it as an uneven watch with moments of potential that don't quite come together.

A TikTok post is how I found out about this film. Having watched a few films featured on Tubi, I wasn't hesitant to take a chance in viewing this one. The production seemed good, and the storyline instantly grabbed my attention.

It gave me a birds-eye view on the lives of two beautiful, African-American, trans women.

First off, their beauty is amazing. They also dressed their asses off. I enjoyed their on-screen chemistry, and loved the friendship they had. It's refreshing seeing how two friends struggled and stayed together -- even after one hit the stable mark.

The adverse encounters with the heterosexual men were riveting, and I did feel a little sad for the girls.

I will not give any spoilers, but I will say it was, indeed, worth the watch. I'll definitely be watching Secret Society 2.

I turned this on for a movie to go to sleep on. Thought it was going to be bad actors but it was surprisingly good that I had to watch it again bc I missed the beginning. Oh and the artist songs they play are dope too.

I read the book when I was younger and loved it. This movie follows the book for the most part. Acting was definitely b movie. Started off kinda off but got better the second half of the film.
