Segreto materno

It's basically watching a soap opera with a start and end to one entire "dramatic" story.

The overbearing and constant score was very annoying. Zero music was needed in more than half of the entire scores runtime.

The acting for the most part was sub par - unconvincing and/or over exaggerated, but I'm sure that's mostly well-seasoned TV writer and director Fred Olen Ray's failure to direct his scenes and cast properly.

His directing in this one felt very amateurish, that the entire film seemed like an independent low budget amateur filmmaker's production. It felt very phony and unconvincing. The story has been done many times before, and much better, so not sure why we needed a "soap opera" version, that was predictable start to end.

Pacing and runtime were decent. If you have nothing better to watch, I guess this one is OK. It's a generous 6/10 from me
