Segredos Mortais

Excellent. It is rare to see a film that is so unassuming and yet has the stuff that makes me want to be there- know more about it- want to see more- hear more. I know these people- Some of this story resonates like it happened in my life. It didn't have to be Gandolfini and Janssen- It could have been any of a hundred actors handling those parts. But seeing these great people on the screen really makes this movie even greater for me. I don't think I am steering you wrong to award this fine movie 8 of 10. I believe it is worth every point. And, yes, the writer doesn't tell you everything. Like so many other great movies a lot remains unsaid. I hope you enjoy it like I have.

I found this movie to be a big waste of time. I kept hoping it might get better, It never did. It has good actors. I blame the script and the directing. The cinematography was beautiful, however.

I love James Gandolfini and this little movie showed me why. In Down the Shore he is a sad, lonely man disappointed in what life has handed him and yet powerless to change anything. The bleak setting of the shore in winter, a broken down amusement park and the tiny run down houses (although the house weirdly gets bigger and nicer as the film goes on), produce an almost claustrophobic feeling to the film. Everyone before has said it..its beautifully acted and filmed. But afterwards I kept asking myself questions in the plot that were never fully explained. I gave it an 8 because it's a beautiful well crafted film...but flawed.

It was a really interesting movie. James Gandofini did a great job. So did the rest of the cast. It is sad that not a lot of people got to see it. I have read about the Jersey Shore but i have never seen it.

I guess everyone makes movies that go to video right away The kid did a great job.

A sometimes charming, sometimes suspenseful movie with great performances and decent dialog. The scenes are striking, the storyline holds your attention and my rule is that any movie with the incomparable JG is at least tolerable. Check it out if you have the time.
