Not that bad

Rating: 3/10 (15 February 2015)

Yes, the story is a bit shallow, but this movie is better that the ratings suggest. I think it's partly caused by the 'taboo' subject. BDSM gives a lot of giggles and discomfort by many people. I heard it around me when I saw the movie with my sub. The acting is good. Especially the two main characters do an excellent job. The BDSM is for a vanilla movie in a good way shown. Many aspects are indeed how it works in the BDSM community, although some aspects are a bit over the top (contract), but it's the comic relief, the movie needs. The bindings were not always safe, but it's a movie, not an instruction manual. It's a pity the movie (and book I assume), suggests that a dominant, has a traumatized past. Well, that's not in the real world and most people choose the lifestyle , because they simply like it. Overall nice movie, good acting, it's a nice chick flick about a subject more people want to explore than they are willing to confess. ;)
