The Secret Woman is climbing Netflix’s charts after arriving on the service on August 28, with the Danish thriller sitting at No. 2 globally and No. 3 in the US, according to FlixPatrol data cited by ComingSoon.
The Secret Woman Netflix chart position
The 118-minute film is also No. 1 in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Romania, Guadeloupe, Martinique and Réunion. It trails only The Whisper Man on the US Netflix film chart.
The official Netflix page for The Secret Woman describes a woman with amnesia who discovers that she has a family and a shipping empire. The film follows Louise, who has built a quiet life on a Norwegian island with her boyfriend Joachim, until a stranger claims she is actually Helene Söderberg, a woman who disappeared three years earlier.
What is The Secret Woman about?
A DNA test confirms the stranger’s claim, sending Louise back towards the wealthy Danish life she cannot remember. She must work out what happened to her while dealing with a husband, a child and a past she left behind.
Natalie Madueño leads the cast as Louise/Helene, alongside Claes Bang and Pål Sverre Hagen. Stina Ekblad, Ingrid Bolsø Berdal and Lars Simonsen also appear. Barbara Topsøe-Rothenborg directed the film after previously making Netflix’s 2022 mystery thriller Loving Adults.
A review from Heaven of Horror calls it a Danish crime thriller with a slow-burn, psychological tone. The review gives it three out of five and says the film’s close-to-two-hour runtime does not feel overextended.
