The girls’ sisterly rapport is undeniably touching, but film is a bit too facile to dig deep into the American soul.

As a whole, ‘What We Hide' has the feeling of an old after-school special, a melodramatic lesson about a topical issue. However, simply bringing up the spectre of the opioid crisis isn’t enough.

“What We Hide” is full of exceptional performances, with Grace bringing depth and breadth of emotion to the role of Spider.

What We Hide plays in part like a documentary, capturing a harsh reality and an ambiguous situation. While still offering us a glimmer of hope.

A story that needs to be told. Glad I had a chance to see it in a movie theater. Mckenna Grace was excellent and the her sister as well. Worth seeing!

Haunting, emotional, and incredibly powerful. The story unfolds in a way that slowly wrecks you, and the performances feel raw and honest. One of those films that stays with you long after it ends.

It was very good. A unique plot and an important issue to shine light on. I did get frustrated with the main character at times and found the scenes with the mom’s boyfriend a little too extreme.

What We Hide is a darkly comedic drama led by McKenna Grace, who shines as a young girl trying to protect her sister after their mother dies. Grace carries the film, bringing depth and energy that keeps viewers engaged even when the story falters. The premise is bold—hiding a body while avoiding social services—but the execution is uneven. The first act drags, the second act loses momentum, and the climax feels anticlimactic. The screenplay has creative moments but struggles with pacing and tonal shifts between dark humor and suspense. Supporting characters are underdeveloped, making some interactions feel hollow. Despite these flaws, Grace’s performance elevates the film, making it watchable and entertaining, though it ultimately feels forgettable and inconsistent. Fans of Grace will appreciate her work, but the story itself doesn’t leave a lasting impression.
