Secretary (2002) starring James Spader, Maggie Gyllenhaal. Recently released from a mental hospital, Lee (Gyllenhaal) takes a job as a secretary to a lawyer named Edward Grey (Spader). She has a tendency toward self-harm, and he has a domineering personality; their office relationship gradually evolves into a dominant-submissive bond. He enjoys being abusive, she enjoys being abused. Only problem is, he is ashamed of his behavior, even though she likes it. This is a unique, strange movie, and you will not find another like it. Unfortunately, it goes a little off track in the last 15 minutes or so, but still worth seeing. Good subtitles; no closed captions. Grade: B+
