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

Basically, they made a lousy, mid-2000s-era Katherine Heigl romance with a handful of explicit sex scenes spliced throughout the familiar clichés. February 26, 2015 | Rating: 1.0

Think of it as the "Downton Abbey" of bondage, designed neither to menace nor to offend but purely to cosset the fatigued imagination. February 16, 2015 | Full Review…

It realizes this story is ridiculous in ways the book itself never could. It has an actual sense of humor. February 15, 2015 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

It's been said that the movie contains 20 minutes of sex; if this is the case, it must contain at least 40 minutes of Ana biting her lip or putting a pencil in her mouth. February 13, 2015 | Full Review…

Given that this is her second film, [Sam] Taylor-Johnson directs the film with taste and care by focusing on the interactions between Ana and Christian rather than the sexual side of the story and the film looks stunning. November 26, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Fifty Shades of Grey will draw you in out of curiosity and possibly hopes of a good movie, then leave you wondering why you agreed to such a thing in the first place, much like the main character. November 12, 2019 | Rating: 3.9/10 | Full Review…

Funny that no one seemed to understand in the making of Grey that watching two vaguely defined characters engage in ceaseless rounds of conservatively filmed grimaces and stifled moans gets tiresome quickly. September 19, 2019 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

There is little more critical than to say a third of the film had people laughing at dialogue, and the other two thirds wiggling in their seats, not from discomfort or innervation, but from boredom. August 2, 2019 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…
