with Maggie Gyllenhaal


Personally I thought this was a failed attempt at being interesting (the fact that nothing happens is probably where it all went wrong for the production team) and a disapointment, least say because i thought there would be PORN from the illustration on the front cover :evil:


Maggie is great though, and if i ignore the fact that she looks 100% like my ex, then I'd say she was worthy of the nominations and awards she recieved as the self harming secretary.

I think it's wonderful and not disappointing at all. Highly entertaining. Maggie is brilliant.

James Spader seems to have made a career out of playing pervy men.

Somewhat predictably, this and "The Hours" are the two films my Lesbian friends most regularly borrow from me.

I was very disappointed as well. It's like they thought it's enoughto have a S&M motive so didn't bother with a decent plot.

I caught some of this on Film Four over Christmas. I fell asleep.

i loved it, though bits of the end seemed unnecessary

I thought it was an incredibly dull film.

It was OK but a bit dissapointing. The lead girl was very good but the movie itself was pretty dull.

Found it DESPERATELY overrated to be honest

It was alright but nothing special

I thought Maggies acting was great but the film was a little bit pedestrian, especially considering its themes....

Interesting concept, but it was quite dull for a feature. It could have been a great short film.

Despite the fact that not much happened throught I kept watching, for some reason I was tied. Not bad, not bad at all.

I quite liked it, but I watched it with my mum... which was a bit WEIRD.
