Secret Society

I had never heard about this 2021 drama titled "Secret Society" from writers Miasha Coleman and Jamal Hill prior to stumbling upon it by random chance here in 2022. Of course I opted to watch it, as it was a movie that I hadn't already seen. However, I had no idea what I was getting into here.

The writers actually put together a good storyline, and if you can look past the glorification of gold diggers and scam artists that Tina (played by Erica Pinkett) and Celess (played by Reyna Love) are, then there is actually a more gratifying underlaying storyline to be enjoyed here.

The character gallery in "Secret Society" was fairly interesting, aside from Tina and Celess being gold digging scammers, then they were actually also interesting characters given their personalities and their physical issues.

The acting performances in the movie were good. Initially I was looking forward to seeing Vivica A. Fox on the screen, but she only had a smaller supportive role, sadly so. However, I will say that leading actresses Reyna Love and Erica Pinkett definitely carried the movie quite well.

I found "Secret Society" to be a surprisingly entertaining movie, as I had expected it to be just another run-of-the-mill movie.

My rating of "Secret Society" lands on a six out of ten stars.

I turned this on for a movie to go to sleep on. Thought it was going to be bad actors but it was surprisingly good that I had to watch it again bc I missed the beginning. Oh and the artist songs they play are dope too.

After running out of stuff to watch, I picked this one pretty much randomly, at first it felt like a modern 21st century version of cheap TV movies I used to on local cable TV channels, but unlike those it does show some impressive scenes of upscale living so it's not ugly by any means... The plot is very unique, and although some sensitive people might find it controversial, I think it's intriguing. If they had at least one good actor in the cast instead of two instagram models, a guy who appeared in a single episode of House of cards and a meme convict, and if they didn't try so hard to go full ratchet wherever they could, especially in the language, it would be a solid 9, but the way it is it's 7 minus.

Well! Well! Well! Quite entertaining. Normally I would not watch something of this nature but once i started, I immediately got drawn in from the childhood to the present. This movie really opens your eyes to seeing things from a different perspective. Great acting, directing, wardrobe. Thumbs up, I would recommend.

I read the book when I was younger and loved it. This movie follows the book for the most part. Acting was definitely b movie. Started off kinda off but got better the second half of the film.
