- 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."
