Fifty Shades Freed Review
The entire film feels like it’s stuck in a post-coital coma.
I love movies, tech, politics, games and more. I've been writing professionally since 1985 and, thankfully, have worked with some of the best editors in the business. I'm also a proud member of the Philadelphia Film Critics Circle and the Broadcast Film Critics Association (Critics Choice Awards).
The entire film feels like it’s stuck in a post-coital coma.
Edgy with a rough-hewn style and the grace of a gorilla ordering a pale Pouilly-Fuissé.
A drawn-out reminder of “the grass is always greener” syndrome.
No film in 2017 surprised me more than this one.
Feels as if del Toro borrowed and updated a campy 1950s sci-fi thriller.
Has the feel of a potluck dinner gone bad.
Rattles us with an authenticity not often found in films of its era.
A captivating, unrelenting tale that takes no prisoners.
A shockingly empty expanse of unresolved questions and unrealized potential.
This drama perfectly paints a picture that few have any interest in displaying.
The magic evaporates faster than the honey in Pooh’s pot.
The action still packs a punch, but its impact isn’t what it used to be.
