About Fifty Shades of Grey

When college senior Anastasia Steele steps in for her sick roommate to interview prominent businessman Christian Grey 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.

Our take on Fifty Shades of Grey

Sam Taylor-Johnson's 2015 erotic drama introduces Anastasia Steele, a college senior who fills in to interview the enigmatic and immensely wealthy businessman Christian Grey. An unexpected attraction pulls them together, and though sexually inexperienced, Ana enters an affair that leads her into Christian's world, where the boundaries of pain and pleasure are tested. The film trades on glossy production, simmering push-and-pull and frank sensuality aimed squarely at adult viewers. Fans of steamy, character-driven romance with a controlling, mysterious lead will find what they came for; those wanting layered drama or subtlety may feel underserved. Strictly for grown-up audiences comfortable with explicit intimacy and a provocative central relationship.
