Critics' reviews

"This is one of those movies that could have gone all wrong, but it hits all the right notes."
"Against all odds, director Steven Shainberg has managed to craft an oddly compassionate -- and often very funny -- tale of an emotionally symbiotic affair."
"The characters in Secretary never feel the least bit human. Their quirks, sexual and otherwise, are all on the surface."
