Secretary (2002)

Interesting subject has a fantastic first half, which morphs into an uncomfortable second half, which in turn ends up with a great final section. Undecided as to my feelings on the film -- I'll have to think on it...some of the acting seemed to be a bit much (Gyllenhaal, at times, too childish; Spader almost always too cautious -- nearing slapstick sometimes). For now: B
