Reception
Critic Alcino Leite Neto, writing for Folha de S.Paulo, heavily criticized the film, calling it "one of the worst of the recent Brazilian films" and "an ocean of clichés and sentimentality".[7]
Conversely, critic Luciano Trigo, writing for G1, praised the film saying that "Little Secret is indeed the best Brazilian film in the last few years. In style, form and content, it is fully accredited to compete and win the Oscar for Best Foreign Film". [8]
