Gyllenhaal’s breakout role was in the black comedy, Secretary (2002), a film about two people who embark on a mutually fulfilling BDSM lifestyle. The New York Times critic Stephen Holden noted: “The role of Lee, which Maggie Gyllenhaal imbues with a restrained comic delicacy and sweetness, should make her a star.” Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote: “Maggie Gyllenhaal, as the self-destructive secretary, is enigmatic and, at moments, sympathetic.” The film received generally favorable reviews, and Gyllenhaal’s performance earned her the Best Breakthrough Performance by an Actress award from the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures, her first Golden Globe nomination, and an Independent Spirit Award nomination. Secretary was Gyllenhaal’s first film role which featured full frontal nudity. Impressed with the script, she initially had reservations about doing the film, which she believed could deliver an anti-feminist message. However, after carefully discussing the script with the film’s director, Steven Shainberg, she agreed to join the project. Although insisting Shainberg did not exploit her, Gyllenhaal has said she felt “scared when filming began” and that “in the wrong hands … even in just slightly less intelligent hands, this movie could say something really weird.” Since then, she is guarded about discussing her role in the film, saying only that “despite myself, sometimes the dynamic that you are exploring in your work spills over into your life.”
