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?

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.

This was one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen and let me tell you why because this is a twilight fan fiction and this becoming a movie which such a horrible plotting and terrible writing because I remember back in 2015 when sometimes I found this in Netflix and I felt annoyed and I hated every second of it but is definitely an unwatchable experience , I shouldn’t recommend this film for anyone F

Read the books, well kind of got bored half way through the trilogy, but I honestly thought they might have spiced the films up with some true on screen chemistry and convincing toxic relationship psych….but no, terrible casting, unbearably cringe worthy and pathetic moments, boring and unconvincing scripting and sex scenes that went on way too long….i mean i love a bit of soft porn as much as the next middle aged woman, but I genuinely just forwarded through most of these. Candy crush got me through the worst of it with one eye on the screen in the faint hope that something might capture my attention.
