Synopsis: Secretary (2002)

Synopis: Lee Holloway (Maggie Gyllenhaal) has a few strikes against her when she applies for a secretarial position at the law office of E. Edward Grey (James Spader). First, she was released only recently from a mental institution; second, after one day back with her dysfunctional suburban family she has succumbed to her secret obsession - self-mutilation. Somehow, she gets the job anyway. Then again, Mr. Grey is far from a normal boss. They embark on a relationship together, crossing lines of conduct that would give most human resource directors shivers.

   Secretary is a movie about a woman and man whose lives were not very happy and pleasant and they have lonely souls. They met at work and have a Sadist and Masochist relationship which would be regarded as a very unusual beginning of a romance in a movie.
   It's not easy to tell abnormality apart normality talking about love. I don't even think they have a line between them. People generally say voyeurs and sadomasochists are shameful. However, things can be different just depending on the way you are looking at things and this movie seems to suggest that idea to me.
   The first thing I come up with this movie article is how intricate subject this movie is dealing with. A boss with sadomasochism? And the secretary would love to enjoy the relationship? This movie has turned a sexual harrassment in a work place into a romance. It should be intricate and dangerous. This film has whole serious, comic, erotic, and romantic aspects.
   I am not going to judge this movie rashly because of the S&M relationship. I will watch in an open-minded way and see if there is something I can learn about people and their relations which I didn't know before. I know there are always good chances to meet a good movie with this kind of attitude. ...

   2 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this Secretary review helpful One of the most thought-provoking, visceral, tender, and well-acted films of recent times.
   
   This unusual and erotic comedy deals with subject matter that will make some squeemish, but for the open-minded the pay-off is incredible.
   
   Maggie Gyllenhaal is beyond excellent in her first starring role, and Spader embodies the controlling soul of repressed sexuality. The chemistry between the two main characters is completely believable. Although the humor is quite dark and cutting (no pun intended), this film is actually a beautiful romance about two troubled people who discover what REALLY makes them tick. ...
