Secretary

A few years ago I was channel surfing late at night or early AM and came across The Secretary. I was already familiar with James Spader and really liked his work. But it was the first time I had the pleasure... Full review

I don't know why i kept it on till the finish of the movie, but i guess i did that to know the coclusing. Yes, i was surprised. I found out that there is a movie more worst than Jackass 2.... Full review

I'm first of all a fan of Maggie G. With that said, I used to be a cutter, and I found the depiction of her self-mutilation to be very real. It's something that is so misunderstood, it's refreshing to see a... Full review

This was a bad movie. The story is not interesting but the acting supports the story so it becomes much better. The direction was good but it could have been better. The visual was fairly good. The main protagonist of the... Full review

Totally one of my favorite movies. Not the conventional love story, but it made it all the more believable. Some people say it's not realistic because their relationship was founded on lust.I don't see anything wrong with that, and I have... Full review

I must admit that I loved every moment of this unusual film that works especially well because Steven Shainberg refuses to treat the subject as sensational, but simply tells the story. Dont let the ordinary title of this splendidly edgy film make you believe that you are about to see anything that is ordinary. ... Full Review

tantalisingly entertaining and often oddly funny, Secretary is nothing if not original This bold and unconventional approach is matched by bold and unconventional performances from James Spader and Maggie Gyllenhaal, each a minimalist here, gently squeezing their character out, drop by drop, glance by glance, twitch by twitch. ...

Funny, sweet, and at turns a little startling, Secretary is a fantastic film, utterly worth watching. When the two finally realize their compatible tastes, all of the buildup crescendos into a spanking scene that titillates as it shocks and that goes for the audience and Lee. ... Full Review

The film is driven by the interplay between the characters of the boss and the secretary and both performers give tremendous performances. Twenty years ago, "Secretary", writer-director Steve Shainberg's darkly comic tale of SM in the workplace, might have been seen as a statement against the very jealousy-inducing instincts that spawned that absurd game show. ...

Consider this a warning label: Secretary is not for the sexually squeamish. Even those who consider themselves broad-minded may feel some unease at the film's defining moments - scenes of ritual punishment meted out by a dominant lover to a... ... Full Article

A feel-good movie about sadomasochism, the seriocomic "Secretary" manages to be simultaneously subversive and sweet. This is no mean feat. Using a Mary Gaitskill story as a jumping-off point, director Steven Shainberg and writer Erin Cressida Wilson tell the story ... Full Article

The admonition "Different strokes for different folks" doesnt necessarily apply to Secretary , a wry, witty, oddly gentle shaggy-dog story about sado-masochism. Its hard to see how anyone could object to a love story that, however cheeky, proves downright wholesome... ... Full Article
