7/10
Strange tale of two emotional cripples.
21 February 2016
Lee Holloway is released from a psychiatry facility. Never having worked, she enrols in a secretarial course. She applies for a job with lawyer Edward Grey. From Day One, she senses his emotional vulnerability and seduces him. Acting as the submissive in a mild BDSM relationship.

At the same time, she has a loving boyfriend who also needs her. Faced with a marriage proposal from the boyfriend, she has to make a choice.

She chooses the relationship where she is the strong manipulative partner.

As a backdrop, Lee's own family is in some turmoil. Does this have a critical influence on her choice? This is a credible low budget production. Has an interesting plot and makes some startling insights a decade before Fifty Shades of Grey.
