Hortense (Marianne Jean-Baptiste) is a young, black optometrist whose adoptive parents have recently died. Cynthia (Brenda Blethyn) is a sad, unmarried mother who works in a factory and lives in a shabby terraced house with her confrontational daughter Roxanna (Claire Rushbrook). Cynthia's brother Maurice (Timothy Spall) is a successful photographer who lives comfortably in suburbia with his wife Monica (Phyllis Logan). In a misplaced effort to re-unite the family, Maurice & Monica throw a small barbecue party for Roxanne's 21st birthday. When Cynthia brings along her new friend Hortense, chaos ensues and some painful truths are revealed.

Die übliche Familienfassade

Scritta il 20. aprile 2005 da Switchbox.

Unter dem überall verbreiteten Zwang, stets superlativ positiv und souverän zu wirken, gehen einige andere Zwischenmenschlichkeiten flöten. Eingeständnisse (Schwäche, Fehler, Trauer etc.) scheinen jeweils einer anderen Welt anzugehören, was sich leider zunehmend auch auf die Leidtragenden auswirkt, zu Spannungen führt, zu Ängsten (Kritik, Ablehnung). Secrets&Lies ist zurückhaltendes, höchst anspruchvolles Kino. Timothy Spall wie immer PERFEKT, so wie auch alle anderen, vor und hinter der Kamera.
