Review of Secretary

James Spader has never been sexier and Maggie Gyllenhaal has never been more adorable and awkward; and yet beautiful and sexy. The chemistry between the two characters is just explosive and throughout the whole movie I felt tingles and shivers when certain sequences came up, and no, I don’t mean the sex ones. And that says something.

I have a great respect for BDSM and I feel that a couple needs a lot of trust, intimacy and love in order to get into it and apply it properly. This movie is about love, first of all, and it kinda pisses me off when people see it strictly as a movie about sex or about BDSM. It’s about two socially awkward and tried and tired people who didn’t find what they were looking for and who have the courage to try it together and to look for it together.

It’s just great. And I love it to pieces.
