Fifty Shades of Grey
2015 · 2h 5m · Drama, Romance, Thriller
Skip it. This is a poorly-paced adaptation that strips away the book's steaminess without adding any dramatic depth—what's left is awkward dialogue, wooden chemistry, and a relationship dynamic that's more uncomfortable than compelling. You've got way better romance and thriller options for tonight.
Plot
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.
