“Every Last Secret” presents a moving exploration of friendship, mental health, and the impact of war. While the film delivers strong performances, particularly from Sophie Turner and Mark Kassen, its execution and development of storyline and visuals have received mixed feedback. Viewers have praised its handling of sensitive subjects but noted areas where the film could have delved deeper. Nonetheless, it provides a platform for important conversations around PTSD and the challenges veterans face.
