Reviews

Wall Street Journal -
Lee's journey of the body and soul is something else. Maggie Gyllenhaal makes it strangely touching, a revelation.
|
|
Rolling Stone -
A film of startling humor and feeling. For that, director Steven Shainberg, who co-wrote the script with Erin Cressida Wilson, owes much to two remarkable performances.

|
Newsweek -
Manages to be simultaneously subversive and sweet.
|
|
Boston Globe -
Love hurts in Secretary -- but not too much. It's not impossible to imagine adventurous young couples seeing this movie and rushing home to try out the handcuffs and paddles.
|
|
Chicago Sun-Times -
Approaches the tricky subject of sadomasochism with a stealthy tread, avoiding the dangers of making it either too offensive, or too funny.
