A Modern "de Sade" Story Made Well

Rating: 7/10 (20 March 2015)

I am willing to give this movie a mark of 6.5-7/10 although haven't read the book and I find it strange what makes people dislike it so much.
It indeed can be done even better in terms of character development and depth of story but after all the idea of this movie is to show a modern version of a sadomasochistic relationship of a young super rich man with hard early childhood and a gentle and beautiful girl who would involve into it out of curiosity and love.
Of course there is eroticism in this movie, that's the main topic but people miss out the psychology behind it and what drives both characters. And this is what the movie is most valuable about. I would also add good acting and great scenery. And this movie is definitely not anti-feminist. Period.
