“More than forty years after the start of the AIDS/HIV epidemic, How to Tell a Secret is a dutiful expression of living beyond a diagnosis.” – Film Ireland
“How To Tell A Secret is an education then, and calls out societal prejudice and ignorance about HIV, which unnecessarily oppresses those who have it.” 4/5 – The Independent
“How to Tell a Secret is an important enquiry of us all and what part we and our culture have played in that.” 4/5 – Scannain
“It leans into the idea of secrets as a virus which travels from body to body, and is at its strongest when the rhythms of theatre make intimate and empathetic the realities of Irish culture.” – Totally Dublin
“Resonant, vivid and beautifully shot film.” 4/5 – The Guardian
“One for the road. North Circular is a special Dublin film.” 4/5 – RTÉ
“The director offers a fascinating psychogeography of a thoroughfare and beyond.” – The Irish Times
“Simmering with fury, this is social realism at its most damning.” 4/5 – Empire
