It's a soapy, simplistic, but surprisingly affecting ambisexual melodrama that plays a little like Pedro Almodovar without the surreal frills.

Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
It's a lovely film with lovely performances by Buy and Accorsi.
A warm but realistic meditation on friendship, family and affection.
Though intrepid in exploring an attraction that crosses sexual identity, Ozpetek falls short in showing us Antonia's true emotions ... But at the very least, His Secret Life will leave you thinking.
A movie that grows better by the minute.
