Anyone seen this yet?
I wasn't expecting too much from this film, but I was blown away. The story was great, and the acting first rate.

Lee Holloway (Maggie Gyllenhaal) is a young woman recently discharged from a mental hospital (she was comitted for cutting herself).
Once released, she attains a secretary postion for a lawyer, Edward Grey (James Spader). You see thier professional relationship become a not-so-professional one, while dabbling in S&M.

I won't give too much away, but it's a great story of humanity, and the line between pain and pleasure.

Well, yeah maybe a little kinky:razz2: But in spite of (or because of) that, still a good film!

As you may know I am Betty's best friend, as being that I was made to watch this film. All that I can really say is...ok she's a freak. Not Betty, but the lead actress. The only thing I had a problem with, was James Spader being the other lead. I kept picturing him in "Pretty in Pink" where he plays a jerk, as he does in "Secertary" but this time he finds a solemate..who llikes to cut herself. Right. I hope they have little pyro's and other crazy children. Or on second thought, please don't reproduce.

But otherwise, it's a good film. Well done. The acting was good, crazy is easy to play. But the one thing I am jealous of in the whole movie, is the grass bed at the end.

Thanks Betty, that's another one in the books.

Hey hey now! I'm proud of my freakishness!!!
Yes she was disturbed, but I bet A LOT of people out there can relate on some level to what she's going through. I thought it was a nice look into psychological issues, without being overly depressing or pushy.:cheers:

OMG - this movie rocked. I saw it about a month ago. Definately kinky! I wasn't expecting it to be like that. James Spader was great in it.

I just watched this movie and all I have to say is :yikes: I was freaky, but I thought the story line kept you interested.

Maggie Gyllenhaal had a small role in Riding in Cars with Boys, but I've never seen her before. She did a fantastic job playing the role in this movie, and James Spader didn't do too bad either.
