    A lifetime movie that you can watch

    This film is a standout Lifetime movie that goes above and beyond the usual fare.

The chemistry between the leads is palpable, infusing the romantic storyline with authenticity and passion. Moreover, the film's exploration of complex themes and its commitment to character development give it a richness that transcends the typical Lifetime movie. Whether you're a fan of the network's films or simply seeking a captivating story with substance, Secrets at the Museum is a must-watch that combines entertainment with meaningful storytelling, leaving a lasting impression on its audience.

    Stay away from this stinker at all cost!!

    1 star is generous, this was painfully bad. The "plot" is extremely hard to follow and does not really make much sense whatsoever.

    WORDS cannot express to you how outrageously terrible this film is.

    I would not ever recommend anyone watch this pointless nothing film.

    I do find it hard to believe that this was enjoyed by people because it is one of the worst things I have ever watched.

    Overall the acting contributes to the failure & it makes it difficult to watch past 20 minutes as the acting/performances are utterly embarrassingly terrible. I'm sat here in utter disgust with the entirety of the film.

    I think the best part of the movie were the last five minutes and I was so excited when the credits finally scrolled.

    awful

    Crime and art.

    More than interesting premise. Unfortunately, awful used. The young Natalie, performed by Madelaine Santos and her sunflower is one of ingredients of good start. Like the missing painting, maybe, like the accident.

    But, for obscure motives, the role of adult Natalie is offered to Chelsea Vale the better, more- more- more better option being Stephanie Prata, par exemple . Because Chelsea Vale , with high profesionalism, massacrates the character scene by scene.

    Second bad point - the confused, when it is not pure unrealistic, story. And the presumed twist, expected after the death of father. The romance ? It is an Hallmark, must be some romance ! Maybe not exactly, in this case. Because, poor Luke, poor Alex.

    What awful acting!

    The plot wasn't the best, but the acting was so bad, who would notice the dodgy plot? There was no mystery behind the baddie in this story, as the lack of subtlety made it glaringly obvious from the start. And the lead actress was sadly very wooden, making it impossible to empathise with her...or to care!

    The support cast weren't great but they positively shone compared to the leads.

    I'm not sure if the director just couldn't bring out the best in the actors, or if it just wasn't there. But I really couldn't find much to like about this film. Seriously, don't waste your time. Go for a nice walk instead.

    Has its moments

    In the heart-pounding thriller, Jonathan Lipnicki emerges as a remarkable talent on the rise. Their performance in the film was nothing short of exceptional, leaving an indelible mark on the audience. From the very first frame, he commanded the screen with a magnetic presence that showcased their potential as a rising star in the industry.

    What truly stood out was Jonathan Lipnicki's ability to convey a wide spectrum of emotions with remarkable authenticity and precision. They seamlessly navigated the complexities of their character, moving effortlessly between moments of intense suspense and deep vulnerability. Watch it if your into movies like this.
