The premise of the movies a well as the plot is very nice.
It's representation of BDSM and S/M topics is very accurately deciphered. I really like the characters and relationships between them, it could have been more thorough in exploring their relationships, but it was entertaining to watch.
Concept of safeword was nicely represented.
One of the worst thing in this movie was acting, it was extremely bad, I've never seen such a horrible acting in my entire life. Even commercials on TV have better actresses than these three women did. It completely ruined the movie for me.
Overall, It's worth a watch.

Secretary is often hailed as a groundbreaking film that delves into the complexities of a BDSM relationship. However, upon closer examination, it becomes clear that this movie is less a representation of BDSM and more a portrayal of abuse, exploitation, and deeply troubling psychological issues.
One of the most alarming aspects of Secretary is its portrayal of consent, or rather, the lack thereof. Grey's dominance over Lee crosses boundaries that should never be approached in a healthy BDSM relationship. Consent in BDSM is paramount; it must be informed, enthusiastic, and ongoing. Yet, in Secretary, we see Grey exploiting Lee's fragile mental state, manipulating her into situations where she cannot possibly make clear, informed decisions. The absence of a safeword or any clear communication about limits and boundaries is a glaring oversight that should not be romanticized or excused.
Moreover, the film irresponsibly drags non-consenting third parties into their twisted relationship. Peter, Lee's boyfriend, is kept in the dark about her relationship with Grey, making him an unwitting participant in their kink.
Secretary could have been an opportunity to shed light on the true nature of BDSM, to educate and inform. Instead, it perpetuates harmful stereotypes and dangerously conflates mental illness with submissive tendencies. BDSM is not therapy, and it should never be used as a means to 'fix' someone. Lee needed professional help, not a toxic relationship with a man who saw her vulnerability as an opportunity for exploitation.
0/10.

I wont even bother writing a review, I will just randomly come up with insults to throw at this movie in the same manner that the writers did composing a script. Insult will be cringy and stupid just like the movie. A perfect reflection if you ask me.
This movie is so stupid, it makes a broken chainsaw seem useful.
This movie is scarier for its bad writing than its chainsaw-wielding villain.
The only massacre here is of good taste and decent filmmaking.
It's so poorly made, even Leatherface would cut his losses and run.
This film is a chainsaw massacre on your time and sanity.
It's so bad, the chainsaw should've been used on the script.
Watching this movie is like trying to fix a chainsaw with a plastic fork.
The scariest part of this movie is realizing you wasted your time watching it.
This movie is so dumb, even the chainsaw couldn't cut through the boredom.
