Fifty Shades of Grey is a 2015 American erotic romantic drama film directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson from a screenplay by Kelly Marcel. The film is based on E. L. James' 2011 novel of the same name and stars Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele, a college graduate who begins a sadomasochistic relationship with young business magnate Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan).
The film was released on February 13, 2015, and received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for the performances of Johnson and Dornan and criticism for its screenplay and its overall tone. However, the film was a commercial success, grossing over $571 million worldwide against a production budget of $40 million.
Two sequels, Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed were released in 2017 and 2018, respectively. All three films were directed by different directors and received similar critical and commercial reception.
The Fifty Shades film series has been criticized for its portrayal of BDSM, which some critics have argued is unrealistic and potentially harmful. However, the films have also been praised for their popularity and for bringing BDSM to the mainstream.
