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.

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.

Feels like an elegantly made - the cinematography and score are top notch - night time soap opera.

This isn’t a film to be recommended to everyone, but it’s an interesting and different way a romance film can be designed. It isn’t a typical cliche romantic film which makes it unpredictable but well written.

I can’t say it’s the worst movie I’ve ever seen, but honestly, it felt like they should have put it on a site like Xvideos or P.hub instead. A significant portion of the film focused on explicit scenes, with themes of humping and BDSM taking center stage rather than meaningful storytelling. Jamie Dornan undeniably embraced his role as a wealthy, enigmatic billionaire, but instead of channeling his fortune and charm into fighting crime like Bruce Wayne, he spent his energy exploring the darker corners of intimate relationships. While the cinematography and production value might appeal to some, the lack of depth in the plot makes it hard to take the movie seriously.

Genuinely couldn’t get passed the horrendous, flat and lifeless acting let alone the embarrassing lack of chemistry

I literally do not see what the hate is. The absolute cinema and story is easy to understand as long as you pay a bit of attention throughout the movie. Def not a movie to play in the background as you could not enjoy it in that way. Literally a must watch.
