It's most remarkable as a pairing of two inspired actresses with four decades separating them: 25-year-old Elizabeth Olsen, the bewitching star of Martha Marcy May Marlene, and 64-year-old Jessica Lange.

For those who want sweeping, "In Secret" offers all the essentials - unbridled passion, deceit, fate so unkind, a classically creepy mother and grand tragedy.
Tom Long, Detroit News
Rotten
Despite its able cast and handsome period costumes, In Secret is, in fact, quite awful.
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Fresh
An effective period piece thriller that incorporates love, lust, desperation, and madness into a stew thickened by a gothic atmosphere.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten
Olsen and Isaac never really create the kind of amour fou that a story like this depends on, let alone the self-loathing guilt that their crime is supposed to engender.
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
