About this movie

In Secret is a tale of obsessive love, adultery and revenge based on Emile Zola's scandalous novel, Thérèse Raquin. Thérèse (Elizabeth Olsen) is a sexually repressed beautiful young woman, trapped into a loveless marriage to her sickly cousin, Camille (Tom Felton), by her domineering aunt, Madame Raquin (Jessica Lange). Thérèse spends her days confined behind the counter of a small shop and her evenings watching Madame play dominos with an eclectic group. After she meets her husband's alluring friend, Laurent (Oscar Isaac), she embarks on an illicit affair that leads to tragic consequences.

Ratings and reviews

Good but not great acting, directing and scripting only make me imagine what Joe Wright would have done if given the opportunity to adapt this story.
