Secret Society

I have watched this movie twice, 1&2 just to make sure I wasn't tripping. I would like to discuss it with the producers validating the actress, actors and their roles throughout the movie. A big mistake was made!! I would go deeper in detail but it works spoil it for the other viewers. I'm currently writing a book myself that has a storyline to die for so I'm pretty concurrent with proofreading and pinpointing these type of errors. Maybe we can negotiate on one of the directors assisting me with trying my book out and possibly talk about turning my book into a movie as well. My storyline is different but has as many plot twists as this movie!

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.

After running out of stuff to watch, I picked this one pretty much randomly, at first it felt like a modern 21st century version of cheap TV movies I used to on local cable TV channels, but unlike those it does show some impressive scenes of upscale living so it's not ugly by any means... The plot is very unique, and although some sensitive people might find it controversial, I think it's intriguing. If they had at least one good actor in the cast instead of two instagram models, a guy who appeared in a single episode of House of cards and a meme convict, and if they didn't try so hard to go full ratchet wherever they could, especially in the language, it would be a solid 9, but the way it is it's 7 minus.

I had never heard about this 2021 drama titled "Secret Society" from writers Miasha Coleman and Jamal Hill prior to stumbling upon it by random chance here in 2022. Of course I opted to watch it, as it was a movie that I hadn't already seen. However, I had no idea what I was getting into here.

The writers actually put together a good storyline, and if you can look past the glorification of gold diggers and scam artists that Tina (played by Erica Pinkett) and Celess (played by Reyna Love) are, then there is actually a more gratifying underlaying storyline to be enjoyed here.

The character gallery in "Secret Society" was fairly interesting, aside from Tina and Celess being gold digging scammers, then they were actually also interesting characters given their personalities and their physical issues.

The acting performances in the movie were good. Initially I was looking forward to seeing Vivica A. Fox on the screen, but she only had a smaller supportive role, sadly so. However, I will say that leading actresses Reyna Love and Erica Pinkett definitely carried the movie quite well.

I found "Secret Society" to be a surprisingly entertaining movie, as I had expected it to be just another run-of-the-mill movie.

My rating of "Secret Society" lands on a six out of ten stars.
