Reviews & comments
Flicks, Alex Casey
flicksFifty Shades Darker made it abundantly clear that there’s nothing a chick loves more than a ball, be it a masquerade event or two small silver ones to stick where the sun don’t shine. Even if your boyfriend is a controlling billionaire sadist who orders your meals, chooses your dresses and BUYS THE COMPANY YOU WORK FOR, forget it all in the name of a rollicking good ball. Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) knows this, and Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) finds out in the sequel to Fifty Shades of Grey, a film probably best summed up by the man himself when he splutters “I don’t know whether to worship you at your feet or spank you.”
not sexy.
This film confirms my view of '50 shades of grey' - sad films/books for sad 30 something chicks who are confirmed bachelorettes. Who probably have a pet doggie, and in the 70's would have read Mills and Boon. Not racy.. not sexy.. was not feeling either of those during ir after this film!!!

pressFor all its structural and psychological deficiencies, it’s hard not to enjoy Fifty Shades Darker on its own lusciously limited terms.

pressLet's be honest, nobody was expecting this to be The Godfather Part II, but at least it's not Basic Instinct 2.
Newshub
pressIf you're a Fifty Shades fan, you'll definitely get what you want from this sequel - more of the same, but with more sex.
Los Angeles Times
pressThe darkest thing about this ... are the black looks of audience members wondering where even the slight charms of the first picture have gone to.
Hollywood Reporter
pressA concluding installment is already en route; expect diminishing returns every Valentine's Day.

pressThe most perverse thing about Fifty Shades Darker is the notion that anyone anywhere ever thought it was a good idea in the first place.
