Movie Reviews of Secretary
Movie Review: Original Story w/ Great Characters
Summary: 5 Stars
"Secretary" is daring and innovative, even though its subject matter could be tagged passe given that DS and SM now are virtually mainstream. Rich with symbolism, the film plays out slowly and deliberately. The tone and pacing seem to invite viewers to play along. I found myself repeatedly urging the submissive Lee and her dominant boss Edward to, "Hurry up already."
The two main characters are well drawn and developed. Even the characters' quirks and eccentricities are absurd to the point of being realistic.
That said, the film does have weaknesses. Lee's parents provide some insight into the protaganist's character but are occasionally distracting. The film, at times, also seems overstylized and overproduced.
Nevertheless, this is a film that forced me into the mind of a vulnerable, at-times ditzy submissive woman - and made me care about her progression.
The movie is billed as a racy DS story, but really, it's about two people who find in each other, not only love, but a kind of salvation. Lee replaces her cutting with DS. Edward channels his own interests in the relationship.
Ultimately, the two find completeness in each other. Their journey to that is inviting and captivating.
