Just watched Secretary. Maggie Gyllenhaal is great stuff (incidentally, she really does look like her brother) and the movie’s hot. But the whole last 15 minutes really loses the snap of the rest of the movie - the pace slackens so much that it becomes just gratuitous. Then over the weekend I watched sex, lies and videotape - interesting to compare the James Spader performance with that in Secretary, since Spader is still master of that vacant, tabula rasa look of the voyeur. Would make a good double-bill, methinks.
