An interesting story if a bit warped - Secretary review by CP Customer
A watchable film with a different story line and some wacky characters reminded me of Almodovars work. Kept watching until the end without getting bored. Worth a watch and not your standard Holywood fare. If you like a bit of slap and tickle this is for you.

Secretary - weird only - Secretary review by CP Customer
Regretably, this was not weird and wonderful - just plain weird. I give it a "zero" if that is possible - if not, then only a "1"

Watchable though a bit dull. - Secretary review by CP Customer
This is a watchable character based drama, in which a self-harming depressed young woman finds a way to overcome her problems by entering an obsessive sadomasochistic relationship with her boss. The story was ok, though personally I felt slightly uncomfortable with the premise of an unstable woman basically just needing a spanking to get over her mental heath problems.
