I agree It's a terrific "spanking film" because of its sensitive and honest treatment of some of the underlying emotional and psychological dynamics of this sort of relationship (you don't really get that angle from "backroom spanking videos"). That earns it a 9.5/10 in my book.
I think film ratings are a matter of taste anyway. Someone who doesn't care for the subject will rate it lower, of course. But that goes the same for action films, sci-fi films and romantic comedies.
On a personal level I once had an intense year long relationship like in "The Secretary" with a woman I met on on a flight from NY to SF. The film touched a lot of memories for me and I cried while watching it.

I think I was extremely fair. The film was flawed. But I enjoyed it very much on a personal level, as well. So go figure. Yes, it's a matter of tastes, but more importantly to me in rating a film, being a film buff as well as a happy kinkster, are the technical and narrative aspects. In which this film was far from superior.
Still, I intend to purchase a copy for myself very soon.
