No. No. No.

Rating: 2/10 (8 June 2015)

This is a dull, boring, one-note movie. There is nothing at all interesting about it, except perhaps the sets! The plot plods. Most of the scenes are monotonous, repetitive, and the actors seem to be sleep-walking through the script. I was totally disinterested in the two major characters. They both seemed lifeless. In terms of the plot, everyone by now knows what it's about, but what bothered me was that the very premise of a relationship with Grey was not completed and yet the relationship proceeded. This was contradictory, unexplained, and didn't seem to fit the character of Grey at all. Perhaps this is better brought out in the book, but here, it just makes for a very confusing impression of one of the main characters. At several points Grey makes a point about his sleeping pattern, for example, but then completely contradicts himself by doing what he says he never does. Is this supposed to depict a person in turmoil, in conflict? In transition? To me, it just seemed like an inconsistency in character depiction. I kept checking the time to see how much longer I had to endure this film.
