Secretary is a 2002 black comedy based on a short story from Bad Behavior by Mary Gaitskill. It was directed by Steven Shainberg and stars Maggie Gyllenhaal as Lee Holloway and James Spader as E. Edward Grey.
Lee Holloway is a smart, quirky woman in her twenties who returns to her hometown in Florida after a brief stay in a mental hospital. In search of relief from herself and her oppressive childhood environment, she starts to date a nerdy friend from high school and takes a job as a secretary in a local law firm, soon developing an obsessive crush on her older boss, Mr. Grey. Through their increasingly bizarre relationship, Lee follows her deepest longings to the heights of masochism and finally to a place of self-affirmation.

It's a good movie. Maggie G is great in it.
i just watched a few scenes from the movie. this thing seems ultra weirdo, but she did look to be playing it well.

I watched this movie and kinda liked it so I tried it out the next day. Turns out the receptionist didn't want to bring me the stapler in her mouth. I told her to put her hands on the desk and stay there to 5pm when I would deal with her. Apparently this is not going to play well in my court case

this movie really gives a more respectable view on s&m. unlike most s&m related movies which make the characters out to be psychopaths or otherwise ridiculous people. and maggie g is pretty hot in this flick.
