Where to Stream Fifty Shades of Grey?

Love takes many forms, some exchange flowers and chocolates with the ones they love, others exchange gags and handcuffs. ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ is the second kind of love story, and this erotic romance had a lot of people reaching out for a glass of cold water.

Based on the 2011 novel of the same name by E.L. James, the 2015 film came out at a time when the world was still obsessing over mysterious and handsome rich, young men, after Edward Cullen from ‘Twilight‘ took everyone’s imagination by storm. ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ might not have garnered positive critical reviews but the audience flocked to the halls to see the deviant relationship between Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele play out. Naturally, it became a massive commercial success and since then, the two other novels in the trilogy have also been made into films, including 2017’s ‘Fifty Shades Darker’ and 2018’s ‘Fifty Shades Freed’.

If you are into the lifestyle promoted on ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’, you might have some troubles with the portrayals, as there was some critical backlash at the time. However, the dynamic between an enigmatic rich man and a naive young girl, as lovers, is something that is too hard to ignore. Thus, we bring you a list of places where you can watch ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’, but before that, let us tell you a bit about the story.

What is Fifty Shades of Grey About?

‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ follows the life of Anastasia Steele, a 21-year-old literature major at the Washington State University. Her roommate, Kate Kavanagh, falls ill and cannot show up to interview Christian Grey, a 27-year-old billionaire entrepreneur, for the college newspaper. Steele fills in for her, and when this doe-eyed and naive girl stumbles into the interview at Grey’s headquarters in Seattle, she manages to grab the man’s attention. Grey, who is also the commencement speaker that year at WSU, later visits Anastasia at the hardware store where she works and agrees to a photo shoot to accompany her interview of him.

Christian and Anastasia meet for a couple of times after that, skirting around each other, as lovers often do before their relationship materializes. Things come to a head after Anastasia drunk dials Christian, berating his boorish behavior and promising to return the gifts he gave her. This prompts Christian to intervene, and they eventually begin seeing each other.

While the initial stages of a relationship always bring a degree of awkwardness, it is especially amplified in Christian Grey’s case, who makes Anastasia sign a non-disclosure agreement that prevents her from discussing the details of her relationship with him, and includes the fact that any sexual relation with him will include bondage. He also shows her the BDSM dedicated room, filled with toys and other equipment, before the deviant Christian has sex with Anastasia, who was a virgin up until this point. As their dalliances continue, we see how Anastasia becomes more experienced by being with Grey, and over the course of the film, we also see this normally submissive girl begin to show hints of dominance, herself. The film ends with Anastasia breaking up with Christian since he cannot seem to erase his emotional distance and she deems that the relationship is too excessive and too weird.

However, before any of this happens, there is a lot of sex, not to mention some moments of genuine tenderness where both parties show how much they care for each other. ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ gives us a peek behind the curtains at an elusive billionaire and the hedonistic lifestyle he lives, not to mention his excessive sexual preferences. The viewer relates more to Anastasia at all times, the grounded and naive girl who becomes putty in the hands of Grey, as he takes control and dominates her, not just sexually but emotionally as well.

Right about now you must be asking yourself where you can get your hands on this racy film. And we are about to tell you where to watch ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ without further ado.
