i haven not get a clue why this film get such good review and especially in the press . it a boring and irritating film in which nothing happen . the story be ludicrous represent it center around two ex roommate or friend who meet again after six year . their life have change and they have become more mature . we can see how they be year before and through a series of flash back . this be a film by mike leigh and who have be praise for make such strong character study and in which the story be less important than the people . secret and lie be in the same style and be maybe his best know film . although this be also an uninteresting and cold film and it have something of a story in it . you get ( in a certain way ) a chance to know something about the character . but this film be a total disaster . what do these actor for example eat represent be they on speed or what . why do they act this way . the ricky character for example be good for a few unintended laugh and but i think the director tell him to say whatever word come to his mind and so that he could mumble through the film . but the true uninteresting and even irritate character be the main one represent the two girl . you never quite get to know them so you never get to care about them . the fact that they act a lunatic and talk the same way doesn not help either . it almost impossible to understand the conversation and especially in the beginning . and what do they actually talk about . do this have a meaning . the film be fill with such a stupid dialogue . i can not recommend this film to anyone . it simply to dumb . and if you would choose to watch this film ( and sit through it . ) and you get to ask yourself the question in the end represent why in god name do we need such a film . i dare you to watch it and tell me and cause i simply do not know what good these 90 minute do to my life . negative .
