DP's Secretary was a secretary at Barkers stationery firm, with a desk just outside managing director DP 's office. In April 1989 , she coped with an irate Derek Wilton , who had just been demoted from sales to dispatch due to the results of his pension medical. Derek waited outside DP's office nearly all day for a quick word with the boss, but DP was tied up in far more important matters due to his impending visit to Amsterdam and didn't have time to see him.
Eventually, Derek tried to force the issue by asking the secretary to take a memo through to DP's office, in which he threatened to resign unless he remained in his current position. She later told Derek that DP had seen the memo but hadn't said much. When the secretary told him he'd missed DP leaving the office, Derek left to continue his quest in the car park.
Throughout the day, the secretary had reacted to Derek's situation with a quiet amusement.

I watched this movie for the first time in 2018 and it was a sexual awakening in and of itself. It's sexy, nuanced, and well-made. Each detail is accounted for, from the writing to the casting to the offbeat aesthetic that was carefully cultivated and maintained throughout every scene. The result is a three-dimensional story with very flawed and sympathetic characters driving the plot forward, which I adore. Lee is easy to relate to and feel for from the get go, but Edward is intentionally written as aloof, subtle, and more mysterious so his psyche is a bit harder to probe as a viewer. During my first watch, I will admit that I found Edward's communication interpersonally ineffective at best and veering on psychologically abusive at worst, but between the lines of his dysfunctional communication style he could be surprisingly tender, compromising, compassionate, and very direct. Both Lee and Edward possessed enormous depth and nuance that made both of them very sympathetic characters. Maggie Gyllenhaal and James Spader did an incredible job portraying them and their chemistry was palpable through the screen. *SPOILERS AHEAD* At a crucial impasse in the story before the climax, Edward went silent and pulled away from Lee to self-sabotage his relationship with her like he did with all his other subs in the past. His attempt to burn bridges with someone he really connected with and inflict deep emotional pain as a result was hard for me to reconcile with, but the movie did a great job at depicting it in a sympathetic way without necessarily condoning it. That part of the film was a bit agonizing for me to watch, but it preceded a cathartic and worthwhile ending that made all the inflicted sadomasochistic pain, both physical and emotional, meaningful. Lee, ever the submissive masochist, accepted the painful emotional distance he purposefully wedged between them as a challenge and went to desperate lengths to win back his withheld affection. In my opinion both Lee and Edward have insecure attachment styles that negatively impact their interpersonal relationships, but it was sweet that they were able to find a way to overcome that in a way that worked for them. To the vanilla layman, their dynamic could be seen as somewhat twisted and dysfunctional on the surface, but the way it was portrayed was very thoughtful and captivating. Lee's utter devotion to Edward as a sub was admirable and touching.

After reading a non-chalant, post-review on this movie, I took a chance. It was so deep and so personal that it made me cry. Two people who were real, or at least real enough to ignore the details which were not realistic. It really made me cry as a guy, because it made me acknowldge that you don't have to be a boringly "normal" person to be happy, and that there can be other people who you can make happy. Damn that life could be so satisfying.

Interesting the comparisons to Fifty Shades of Grey, but it seems difficult not to compare. This one had better acting (which is not difficult since Dakota Johnson can't act), but it wasn't that interesting. It was ok. I kept rooting for them to get together in some kind of way and well... guess I shouldn't spoil that. I hate to even admit that I wanted to see more of the BDSM even though I am not into that myself. But when Lee was feeling empty, I was too. I don't know if that speaks to her acting, or to the fact that I could relate to her (emotional) pain. There were a lot more levels in this movie than Fifty Shades. I will say that Edward Grey was difficult to figure out. I don't think it's due to any inability on James Spader's part to understand his place in this or show what was inside him. I just didn't get the man. I haven't seen much of Spader (I first saw him in Stargate playing that total dweeb), but he's got some versatility and I "trust" that he knew what he was doing with this role. I just wish there had been more to chew on in this. I wasn't bored but wasn't deeply embedded in it either. Well, one 5-star review said there was a lot of unspoken content to understand to really enjoy it, and I most certainly did not understand all of that, no. I am glad they had it on freevee as I would not have wanted to pay for this. This sounds much like I disliked it -- no, it was ok, just still felt like something was missing. A note I really want to add... for those who couldn't watch more than about 5 - 15 minutes of it, the real movie hasn't really started at that point, so I'm not sure if any of those people even know what it's about, other than some neurotic young woman. That does kind of make it sound worse, that one would have to watch longer than that for it to get going.

There were many similarities with this movie and Fifty Shades of Grey, in fact, it is obvious Fifty Shades was directly taken from the essence of this film. I actually liked this film better, because the characters were deeper. The initial spanking scene seemed rather abusive, as also said by another reviewer. If it had been once or twice, that would have been acceptable. Mr.Grey, however, kept hitting harder and harder with each swat. I did like that James Spader's character finally gave in to what was missing in his life- a trusting relationship and someone to love. The character had obviously been hurt in the past. The "Secretary Wanted" sign was funny- a permanent sign with lights around it, as he went through so many before finding Lee. Great show with believable actors.

It's too bad that Amazon allows ratings only up to 5 stars. I would give "Secretary" at least 7 stars. It has easily become my all-time favorite movie. The principal characters are Lee Holloway (Maggie Gyllenhaal) and E. Edward Grey (James Spader). Lee is a young woman who cuts herself when stressed. Mr. Grey is her employer, an obsessive-compulsive, with a seemingly mean streak which masks his attraction to Lee. As the plot unfolds their relationship evolves, to put it mildly. The theme of Secretary is dominance/submission, and there are scenes of spanking, self-stimulation, and some nudity. Fair warning to any yahoos out there who think that women should be kept barefoot and pregnant, and slapped around: you'll find this movie disappointing -- spend your money on a six-pack instead. Fair advice also to any feminists out there who might pre-judge that "Secretary" serves only to gratify the aforementioned yahoos: I would urge you to see this movie and judge for yourself. You'll need to keep an open mind as you watch, but if you can suspend judgment you may see a beautiful love story about two wounded people finding one another. I won't say much here about the plot, which I found highly erotic despite the often light-hearted tone of the movie. The most intensely erotic scene, for me, was the one labeled "Insight" on the scene selection menu. Erotic? Lee and Mr. Grey merely talk, they keep their clothes on, and don't even touch one another, although they sit just a bit too close and make a bit too much eye contact. The essential action of this scene is that Mr. Grey, having discovered that Lee cuts herself when stressed, persuades her to stop. Well, actually, he commands her to stop. Lee's emotions flash through timidity, apprehension, eagerness, shyness, subtle flirtatiousness, self-deprecating humor, acquiescence, insight, resoluteness, and growing respect for both herself and Mr. Grey. The sexual tension in this scene is palpable, and when it ends one senses that the fireworks are about to begin. Ms. Gyllenhaal's performance here (and indeed through the entire movie) is pitch-perfect. She manages to convey Lee's feelings with subtleties of voice, eyes, mouth, hands, head tilt, posture, breathing, the lump in her throat, you name it. Gyllenhaal effortlessly manages to look comedic, optimistic in spite of her problem, cute, or drop-dead gorgeous, whatever the moment calls for. It's magic; in my opinion, the only other actress who comes close to Gyllenhaal's skills is Helen Mirren. James Spader, whose role calls for great subtlety, is also perfect as Mr. Grey, as are the entire cast of supporting characters. Kudos also to Steven Shainberg for his vision and courage to create this film, and to Erin Cressida Wilson for the screen play adaptation of a short story by Mary Gaitskill. Although I don't usually pay attention to production details, I was greatly impressed by the camera work and editing. I also thought the music, especially the song "Chariots Rise" by Lizzie West, was great. But it's Gyllenhaal who really owns this movie. After seeing Secretary, I wondered if perhaps she was a "one-trick pony," that is, great at playing only one particular type of character. So, I bought another feature film of hers, "Sherrybaby," in which she plays Sherry Swanson, a vulnerable but hard-bitten ex-con heroin addict with a quick temper and a habit of using sex to buy favors. Sherrybaby is a pretty gritty movie, but well worth seeing, and I would urge others to buy or rent it. If one didn't notice a facial resemblance, one might not realize that the same actress played both Lee Holloway and Sherry Swanson. Several professional critics opined that she deserved an Oscar nomination for that role. Laughably, Gyllenhaal did finally get an Oscar nomination for her supporting role in Crazy Heart; she was of course very good in that movie, but her role simply didn't require great acting skills. Maybe some day Gyllenhaal will get the recognition she deserves. One final note about the theme of Secretary: At least one other reviewer here commented that, although it was plausible for Lee Holloway to become a submissive, there was no explanation of why Mr. Grey became a dominant. I was also bothered by this at first, but then I concluded that because this movie was told from Lee's viewpoint, any background about Mr. Grey would have been a distraction. At first Mr. Grey seems like a domineering jerk, but as the movie unfolds we slowly discover that he, like Lee, is also a profoundly troubled soul. His empathy for Lee (albeit well disguised!) suggests that beneath his bluster he is also a submissive at heart, and that he gets satisfaction vicariously from his role as a dominant. This makes some sense, in accordance with the notion that in a successful dominant/submissive relationship, it is the submissive who is really in charge. I would refer you to the very final scene in Secretary.

I really wish the cover on the blu-ray was the much-sexier and well-designed poster of this movie (maggie bending over with crossed ankles and the title in type across her bottom, just google the movie and you will see it) This one makes Maggie Gyllenhaal's character look like a nympho predator and James Spader look completely scared of her and really labels this movie as early naughties when the content feels a lot more timeless. Quality of the blu-ray is good. I feel like they shot this on filmstock that doesn't lend a lot of the intense sharpness you might expect from a blu-ray and thus a DVD might work just as well, but where you don't see a lot of sharpness, the characteristics of the film do come through quite nicely. <> The movie itself has some problematic issues and you definitely have to categorize it as fantasy in order to shut your morality off a little and enjoy it - James Spader's character really starts off as a creepy, abusive boss, doing sexual things to a subordinate without explicit consent (even with complicit consent, I think that kind of behavior between a boss/subordinate is a little skeevy). Once she is no longer his subordinate and is choosing to subject herself to him, I'm back on board. But key BDSM things that "Fifty Shades" got wrong, this one also got wrong, but it gets a pass from me for being a lot better in every other aspect and ultimately showing the Submissive make the conscious choice to engage in and enjoy the kink aspects of the relationship, something that Fifty shades really never got around to. It also shows BDSM as an avenue to mental health to some extent which I felt could send a little bit of a harmful message to someone who wants to read that into this movie, but in the greater context of the movie I believe it's the last straw to break Maggie Gyllenhaal of her already mostly-vanquished self-harm demons, I do not think it's advocating for BDSM instead of therapy. Lastly, the positives: of which there are many! James Spader's performance is absolutely electrifying in this film. He sells this roll so hard and he has this switch where he goes from a very bookish, nerdy
