Best Kept Secret Ratings & Reviews
Variety
Ronnie Scheib
Unlike the majority of autism docus about white, middle-class children, Samantha Buck's film examines the poverty of options available to working-class black and Latino young adults once they leave the safe confines of the classroom.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
This deeply moving but thankfully unsentimental doc is both inspiring and depressing.
L.A. Weekly
Ernest Hardy
The real star is teacher Janet Mino, whose advocacy for her kids goes above and beyond.
Shockya.com
Brent Simon
An engaging documentary that flirts with heartbreak and despair while also showcasing the better angels of human nature.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
This is one secret that deserves to be shouted about.
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
[Janet] Mino's efforts to find rewarding situations for her graduates seem heroic in the film, and you're invited to share in her frustrations, as caretakers and children are left with non-choices.
Film Journal International
David Noh
The wonderful work of one teacher, concerned with the adult future of autistic children, is spotlighted in this touching, funny and important documentary.
New York Times
Miriam Bale
It spotlights an important issue yet never seeks to squeeze the truth into an easily digestible narrative frame. Instead it expands its storytelling to the boundaries of messy, joyful and painful reality.
Los Angeles Times
Annlee Ellingson
[Inserts] the viewer into the overwhelming experience of teaching, parenting, even being an underprivileged young adult with autism.

Kam Williams
A magnificent tapestry of touching relationships more like mother and child than student-teacher. When scientists figure out how to clone humans, they ought to start with Janet Mino.
