A feminist masterpiece

Rating: 7/10 (7 July 2015)

This movie is not nearly as bad (or as good) as the various commenters have made out. It gets mediocre marks from me as an erotic drama. I understand that the subject matter is distasteful to some people, but it should have been no surprise to anyone, considering the kerfuffle over the housewife porn book. I had never heard of Jamie Dornan who played the perv billionaire with all of the emotion of a terminator. I was also unfamiliar with Dakota Johnson who at least put some feeling into her role. I'm sure she is lovely, even though they had her overdo it a bit on the mousiness. What lovely boobies, so much nicer than the mounds of silicone that one sees all too often. I'm a little surprised that this film could be made at all, with the pervasive political correctness in Hollywood, but I guess the dollar signs overtake principles every time there.
