Really enjoyed Secrets & Lies and to me didn't seem at all dated definitely still relevant in 2021. I like Brenda Blethyn in ITV series Vera and wanted to check out some of her earlier work. She's such a good actor and so is everybody in this film, brilliantly directed by Mike Leigh, shame not shown on TV very often.

The first dvd didnt work with my player - I didn't bother returning it - just bought another one which did work. You have to take care taking it out of the DVD 'box' - I think I may have damaged the first one removing it from the box. The film was very good - had watched it a few times before down the years and each time it gets better.

Well acted, a daughter gets in touch with her birth mother. How difficult it was for an unmarried mother in the 60's to keep her child, especially a very young working class mother. Tim Spall is excellent as the brother also Brenda Blethan as the mother. One of Mike Leigh's best.

It probably is dated now but I saw this when it first came out and absolutely loved it.For me the story line, the first class actors are wonderful.
