Worst Movie I've Ever Seen

Rating: 1/10 (16 February 2015)

I don't know that there is anything I can say that hasn't already been said, but just in case you missed the memo, this movie depicts an abusive relationship without any of the self-awareness required to pull such a theme off. The lack of chemistry between Anastasia and Christian made for painful viewing, even when he wasn't beating the crap out of her or degrading her at every available opportunity. BDSM requires consent and loving aftercare among other things, and this movie (and the original book) fail to capture the necessity of tenderness in such relationships. I could go on, but you're better off googling this movie and seeing a detailed run-down of everything wrong with it anyway.
