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.
