Reception
The critical Alcino Leite Neto, the Folha de S.Paulo, has heavily criticized the film. According Alcino, Little Secret is a "worst of the recent Brazilian films" and "an ocean of clichés and sentimentality. The narrative is corny, images are corny, the soundtrack is cheesy, the direction is a platitude without end."[6]
