Spect.Viewers generally appreciate 'Secret Name' for its engaging storyline of identity theft set against the backdrop of World War I. The performances, especially by Lyna Khoudri and Sabine Azéma, are frequently praised, alongside the film's beautiful period costumes and sets. However, some found the pacing slow, particularly at the beginning, and expressed mixed feelings about the film's resolution.
👍 Strong performances and beautiful period details

émouvant et intéressant histoire originale
Très beau sujet, m’a bien plu
Sabine Aezma, Lyna Khoudri
Un joli petit film … un tableau de la société en 1914
B
L’histoire d’une usurpation d’identité qui tourne étonnamment dans son dénouement au profit de celle qui a menti sur fond de première guerre ; un film très classique admirablement joué par notamment Lyna Khoudri (les trois mousquetaires, Novembre…) et Sabine Azéma impeccable. 7/10
