If you liked the book, you'll love the film.

Rating: 8/10 (14 February 2015)

Loved the cast, loved the music and thought it was really tastefully directed and produced.
Given this story is predominantly about sex, sexual attraction and exploring different sexual practices, the director took the sex scenes to the absolute pinnacle, without making the audience feel uncomfortable.
The screen writer has ensured that Christian & Ana have transitioned onto the big screen with ease.
Dakota Johnson is the essence of Anastasia, with an excellent performance. Displaying the right amount of naivety and sexual adventure you would expect from a 20 something woman beginning to explore her sexuality. She portray's her struggle of wanting to be with Christian, without becoming his submissive, exceptionally well. You really feel her pain during the ending scenes of the film, I was really surprised by how moved I was!
Jamie Dornan has proved to be fantastic in this role. His expressions speak volumes and he emanates the dark, moody Christian brilliantly. You can see his confusion around Ana and his internal struggles. He oozes sex appeal and showed tremendous chemistry with Dakota. Christian is very complex character and Jamie nailed it for me. He looks smokin' hot in his blue jeans hung low on his hips!! :-)
