'Un Secret' fails to excite

Director: Claude Miller

Cast: Cecile De France, Patrick Bruel, Julie Depardieu

Cert: 15

From France comes this sort-of art house film that fails to excite, a tale of loneliness and family disappointment.

A little boy with over-achieving parents longs for a supportive older brother and finds a tragic story in the family background.

It is let down by poorly developed, unsympathetic characters.

Star Rating: 2/5
