Our Review
“The Secret: Dare to Dream” offers a heartwarming and inspirational story that is particularly resonant in challenging times. The performances, especially by Katie Holmes, bring a depth to characters that could otherwise be seen as archetypal. The film’s portrayal of hope and the power of positive thinking, while at times feeling a bit on-the-nose, does succeed in leaving the viewer with a sense of upliftment and possibility. It’s a feel-good movie that doesn’t shy away from the realities of hardship but encourages finding the silver lining in every situation.
