Review of Secretary (2002) by Jim D — 13 Jan 2015
You could call this the precursor to 'Fifty Shades of Grey'.
Think about it; you have a woman begging for a job, a man named Mr. Grey, and plenty of unusual sexual fetishes.
It's darker than your average romantic-comedy considering the bizarre context it deals with.
At times you ask how far is Lee willing to go for this man she works for? is she in too deep or is this man more than what he appears.
People really do have strange preferences and standards in the workplace and when it comes to physical expression it's quite complicated.
Maggie Gyllenhaal and James Spader play really complex, stubborn people stuck in a relationship that veers from professional to personal and they're both very good at it.
