Movie Reviews of Secretary
Movie Review: Secretary: So Innocently Erotic
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my favorite movie of all time. No question. Gyllenhaal and Spader deliver the most delicious, sensual, and innocent love story I have ever seen in film. The cinematography is breathtaking and the plot is ground-breaking. I do not imbibe in the S&M lifestyle, but this movie made me wish I did! It is, without a doubt, the sweetest hard-core love story ever made.
My suggestion: Watch the movie once, then immediately watch it again with the sound off, so you can appreciate the beautiful staging and use of color without getting wrapped up in the dialogue again. If you are not absolutely blown away by the opening scene, you need a CAT-scan. My only complaint (which is hardly a complaint) is that there could have been a little more background on Mr. Grey. I wish I could know a little more about his life before Lee, such as his ex-wife, the other secretaries, etc. Other than that, this movie is flawless without being preening, passionate without being contrived, innocent without being trite, and so erotic without being overtly-sexual. Watch it! Watch it! Watch it now!
Summary of Secretary
This kinky love story features a standout performance by Maggie Gyllenhaal, an offbeat young actress in her first starring role. Gyllenhaal plays Lee, a nervous girl who compulsively cuts herself, who gets a job as a secretary for Edward, an imperious lawyer (James Spader, an old hand at tales of perverse affection). Edward's reprimands for typos and spelling errors begin with mild humiliation, but as Lee responds to his orders--which are driven as much by his own anxieties and fears as any sense of order--the punishments escalate to spankings, shackles, and more. Secretary walks a fine line. It finds sly humor in these sadomasochistic doings without turning them into a gag, and it takes Lee and Edward's mutual desires seriously without getting self-righteous or pompous. Certainly not a movie for everyone, but some people may be unexpectedly stirred up by this smart and steamy tale of repressed passion. --Bret FetzerSimilar DVD Movies
