Community Reviews
Viewers find 'Secretary' a surprisingly delightful film, marked by its 90s aesthetic and a nearly theatrical confinement. The performances are praised for their depth, capturing a disturbing yet absurdly humorous atmosphere. The film's exploration of dark, psychological themes intertwined with romance is seen as both raw and engaging, providing a stark contrast to more mainstream interpretations of similar themes. Its unique blend of discomfort and comedy makes it a standout, though its intense portrayal of human frailty and violence might not be for everyone.
👍 Brilliant performances and unique tone
👎 May be too intense for some
