Secretary Ratings & Reviews
- AndreiTamasMarch 8, 2026what the shit. but good
- zargaretdannonFebruary 23, 2026Raw, beautiful, emotional, and enticing.
- Brian BrophyJanuary 9, 2026Weird storyline very slow movie to those comparing it to 50 SOG should really open their horizons. Just bc a movie had a very soft Dom at times doesn’t compare, not even close. You wanna watch something along those lines with a much better story line I suggest the 365 Days. There is 3 of them so be sure to watch in order, you’re welcome
- miaMay 1, 2025Perfect — reminds people that love doesn’t alway have to be about other peoples ideals and can be rough, exciting, and odd if wanted. “Who’s to say that love has to be soft and gentle?”
- 2xx88June 10, 2025i love james spader and this movie is good BUT i feel like the girl should’ve slapped him more
- M08YJanuary 8, 2026Look- It's better than 50 Shades. While clumsy and awkward at times, Secretary manages to avoid the cringe factor of the 50 shades series. There's no millionaires, no lavish parties, no flash cars and no ego to be found here. This strange low-budget exploration of kink manages to feel very honest with itself. James Spader and Maggie Gyllenhaal turn in great performances and actually seem to have real chemistry together. Gyllenhaal really pulls it out of the bag with a captivating performance as Lee Holloway. It's hard to portray genuine naivety but it works so very well. The audio and visuals are nothing to write home about. Genuinely nothing of note.
- wwfhhOctober 18, 2025I love this movie
- jimdotson178November 20, 2025Terrible ending !
- 44x675July 27, 2025I don’t even know what to say. Beginning and ending was immaculate. I don’t understand the meaning of each symbol that was shown, either was a symbol or not intended to, everything is. Gosh
- Derrick Ray FarmerAugust 15, 2025Decent movie not all that but the secretary is hot
- NeelliJuly 13, 2025I guess that's what love is like.
- Leonard RichardsonJrFebruary 16, 2025Because I said so 🤣
- GregoryFebruary 8, 2025This have aged better then I would have expected.
- Ben HendersonFebruary 2, 2025A great movie. Maggie Gyllenhall was brilliant, so too was James Spader. For all thé crassness of film's potential, the theme was handled with all the skill that made it a memorable movie.
- adam3199July 7, 2025Who would this movie appeal to? Maybe a brain dead cat sunconscioulsy yearing for human interaction. Complete waste of time and despite the alluring cover, has nothing even remotely like it. Advertisements for incontinence products are more exciting
