Everything about this film is magical but nothing is a magical as Brenda Blethyn's performance as second rate comedienne Jean Dwight. It is another tour de force and it's about time the critics start paying attention to her as one of the greatest actresses of the stage and screen. I think she was actually too good in Secrets and Lies. She disappeared so completely into her role that I think people didn't realize she was acting, and so never gave her her props for the astounding character she created.
