Manu (Raffaela Anderson) shoots a man with his own gun and runs off with his money. Later that night, she makes the acquaintance of Nadine (Karen Bach), a woman whose clean-cut appearance belies the fact that she has recently strangled her overbearing roommate.

The mix of real sex and fake-looking violence in this 2000 French feature is curiously unprovocative.

Baise-Moi is like a cheapie, vintage American exploitation movie, only one that goes so far beyond the bounds of taste that its affrontiveness becomes in large part what the film is about.

Too ideologically earnest for the porn crowd and too hard-core for serious audiences.

A caterwauling punk anthem on film, a vengeful fantasia served up with digital rawness.

Didactic, clumsily directed and abysmally acted.

Coarse, rough-hewn and rather unsophisticated, cinematically speaking, Baise Moi nonetheless succeeds largely on its gritty realism. It's a cinematic jab to the solar plexis.

An adolescent little poseur of a movie.

Only Baise-moi's pedagogy is well defined and strident.

Strange to say, that this story in plot is quite like that of Thelma & Louise, it's very explicit nature though gives it a very controversial edge. The acting is pretty good and in some ways, this film could stand easily on it's own without the controvsial sexually explicit scenes and fairly extreme violence. In

It?s just Sex and violence. It pushes the boundaries of censorship but at the end of the day, if you want porn, get a porn film and if you want violence, get Natural Born Killers. This isn't worth it!
