Every Secret Thing

Every Secret Thing (2014) is an American crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Amy Berg and based on Laura Lippman's novel. In a Baltimore suburb, a baby vanishes from a front porch. Two eleven-year-old girls are convicted and spend seven years locked up before the courts release them.

Years later, another child goes missing in the same neighborhood. Detective Nancy Porter (Elizabeth Banks) reopens the wound, tracking down the two women — now adults played by Dakota Fanning and Danielle Macdonald — while their mothers circle the edges of the investigation, including Diane Lane in a quietly devastating turn. The town's memory is long and ugly, and neither woman has been fully forgiven for what they may or may not have done as children.

Berg cuts between past and present, rationing what she reveals and letting the moral weight build slowly. Who actually bears guilt here, and of what kind — the film earns its answer. Stream Every Secret Thing (2014) online on iFILM.
