The Keeper's Secret

Eli has a secret

Based on the internet phenomenon, PostSecret.com, *The Keeper’s Secret* by Katie Alguire recounts the tale of Elli, a young teenager who becomes hooked on heroine, harming herself and to a more tragic extent, those closest to her. It is when Darren, a virtual stranger, enters her life claiming that he shares the same secret, that Elli is forced to confront herself.

It’s a solid concept on paper, but unfortunately a plodding script filled with a disproportionate amount of sobbing takes away from the experience. Emotionally raw performances from the cast, and simple but natural direction help temper the flaws, but this one is still not fully baked.
