There has been one film which has had the world talking for the best few months and that is Fifty Shades of Grey. After being a summer sensation in 2012 it’s finally been turned into a film. The book took women by storm and had everyone talking and now after many casting changes the film has been released in cinemas. So, much like many women up and down the country I grabbed my girlfriends and went to see what the fuss was all about having read half of the book I was not certain of what to expect.

Fast forward two hours and five minutes and I’m amazingly feeling slightly emotional. Having read the mixed reviews from the book I was unsure what to expect from the film but amazingly it was pleasantly amusing. The film managed to capture the sexual essence of the book yet combined a romantic twist leaving many females including myself excited and hopeful for a sequel. Dakota Johnson gave a believable performance as lead female Anastasia Steel creating a vulnerable character who we fear for when she enters the red room and who we feel empowered by when she takes control from Mr Grey played by Jamie Dornan. Jamie Dornan’s performance was uncomfortable in places when he needed to change from being a dominant male to letting his innocent side show, but he did create a credible male lead.

Danny Elfman managed to combine current music trends with a sensual twist to match the scenes perfectly. He created a dynamic soundtrack which helped us as we watched Miss Steele become surrounded by Mr Grey’s world. With a tension building songs and loveable numbers we watched this odd romance blossom. However, the music does remind us that this book is based on a piece of popular fan fiction constructed upon the romance of popular Vampire teen saga Twilight.

Sam Taylor-Johnson used a range of shots to create a more dynamic film than expected but she tends to zoom a lot into Miss Steele’s lips, possibly more than a female viewer would enjoy. However, as a director of a film which was never going to have amazing reviews she does make an effort to create an enjoyable movie.

If you’re expecting to go to see this movie and witness a plot-twisting drama which makes you gripped to your seats and not wanting to turn away from the screen then go see another film. This film does what it says, it’s a sexual romance movie which is perfect for a girl’s night in and grips you. For some women they found it emotional, the love story was developed more than E. L. James allowed it which helped the movie has a slight amount of depth by the story line doesn't develop anymore than you’d expect. If you’re a 18-25 year old woman you’re bound to enjoy it if not, watch it with an open mind and don’t search for any kind of deeper meaning.
