Critics Consensus

While creatively better endowed than its print counterpart, Fifty Shades of Grey is a less than satisfying experience on the screen.

I wish it had either been much better or much worse.

Wall Street Journal

Fifty Shades of Grey delivers, however ponderously, on its promise of pop transgressiveness.

This alien quality is what makes Dornan so effective as Christian.

Daily Mirror (UK)

As dodgy, ludicrous and funny, as the film might be, as a public spectacle it’s probably not as embarrassing as being seen reading the book

Rated: 3/5

Deep Focus Review

Here's a film that is offensive only in how inoffensive it proves to be.

Rated: 1/4

Feels like an elegantly made - the cinematography and score are top notch - night time soap opera.

This is movie is messed up and I'll give it just one star since maybe at least some messed up people can actually enjoy this film, it has at least SOME audience appeal. And for the record, I have no issues with BDSM or people participating in it, that's not the most screwed up thing I'm talking about! Beyond that, from a non soft and hard-core porn lens and movie-making lens, this STINKS! This main character has no appeal at all and I feel so sorry for her. She's as mentally ill as the man taking advantage of her and manipulating her, who is also a horrible character and human being overall. In fact, he COERCES her and she falls for it each step of the way! He's sick and amoral and she's just plain sad and pathetic with barely any self-esteem except maybe a little at the very end. I cannot empathize with either character which makes it non-investable and the script is god-awful too! Barely ANY redeeming qualities.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

After reading the book there should be more of a power struggle with both of the main characters. I feel like Dakota played the part well, however Jamie seemed a lot softer than the Christian in the book, also the movie has really cut short the amount of sexual tension between them, pg ed it up. Feeling like Jamie wasn't really right for the part.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Satisfactory without being special. Wasn't ever going to live up to the books but nice enough to pass the time away with.
