What does she see in him?

Rating: 2/10 (7 July 2019)

I actually wanted to like this movie, but the combination of a terrible script and a terrible lead actor doomed me to never be able to get past the obvious question: Why would an attractive, smart, charming young woman like this want to have anything to do with such an immature, insecure a-hole? I've got nothing against the specific sexual practices--hey, whatever gets you through the night--but the wooden (!) male character's insistence on being in control every second was profoundly off-putting and decidedly un-erotic. I did like the character portrayed by Dakota Johnson. I hope Johnson (as an actress) outlives this series and goes on to have respectable career. I'll give the movie 2 stars because the music was pretty good.
