So, 'How to Tell a Secret' is quite an intriguing piece. It blends documentary and drama in a way that feels raw and honest, tackling the ongoing stigma around HIV. The film's pacing is reflective, allowing you to really sit with the stories being told. It honors Thom McGinty, the Diceman, who was one of the first voices out there in Ireland about AIDS – that gives it a historical weight. The atmosphere is often heavy, but it doesn’t shy away from moments of levity and connection. The visuals are striking yet straightforward, not relying too much on gimmicks. The performances, especially of the people sharing their truths, are powerful and resonate deeply. It’s a unique exploration of a topic that's still quite relevant today.
