When college senior Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) steps in for her sick roommate to interview prominent businessman Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) for their campus paper, little does she realize the path her life will take. Christian, as enigmatic as he is rich and powerful, finds himself strangely drawn to Ana, and she to him. Though sexually inexperienced, Ana plunges headlong into an affair -- and learns that Christian's true sexual proclivities push the boundaries of pain and pleasure.

Critics Consensus

While creatively better endowed than its print counterpart, Fifty Shades of Grey is a less than satisfying experience on the screen.

I wish it had either been much better or much worse.

Fifty Shades of Grey delivers, however ponderously, on its promise of pop transgressiveness.

This alien quality is what makes Dornan so effective as Christian.

I expect most viewers would have rather seen this franchise taken in a different direction. How about Fifty Shades of The Grey, with the two vapid protagonists forced to contend with Liam Neeson and a pack of ravenous wolves?

3/5

As dodgy, ludicrous and funny, as the film might be, as a public spectacle it’s probably not as embarrassing as being seen reading the book

Here's a film that is offensive only in how inoffensive it proves to be.

I love this movie. I read the books. I honestly pictured the Mail character to be different but he wasn’t disappointing. I enjoyed for just like the book.

The slow burn between Christian and Anna made the beginning erotic and hoping to see the outcome. After the meeting in Christian’s office I was involved in their story. The idea of a young Anna beginning a romance I began to fall in love with the two of them. Christian doesn’t do romance but as things progressed he became very romantic with her. She didn’t expect more than one guy to admire her. I loved their relationship from the start and having expectations made me thrilled to continue reading the book. I moved on to the movie which I loved as much as the books. The documents he planned to present to her before they even kissed but elevator had him deeply kissing her. I was very turned on by now. The buckling in as he came in an helicopter to date her was a turn on. She’s awed by the way he surprises her with his red room of toys. She isn’t afraid to express herself and ask questions. My inside secret self felt the awakening once she admitted that she was a virgin.
