Secretary (2002)
Maggie Gyllenhaal and James Spader both give accomplished performances here, which is a shame because what they're in service to is a trifle bereft of any feel for the material or any sort of emotional weight -- it's more like an excuse to make a film wherein Ms. Gyllenhaal can be spanked repeatedly. Apparently, all the filmmakers' creative effort went into the off-kilter Art Deco design of Spader's office.
Grade: C
