Best movie of this year hands down!

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Very interesting film. I like how this film is told by real women and of different ages. It definitely answered any questions I had about this lifestyle. I was interested and I had my husband watch with me, he liked the film as well. We were just interested to see what this lifestyle was all about. They talked about how they got started in to BDSM, what they've learned, the rules, cuts and bruises. These days you hear about all different types of lifestyles out there. I just like to get a little insight on all of them, to be more open minded. This film does open your eyes to this lifestyle. I would recommend this movie for couples to watch together.

Like many of us in America I have read the book "Fifty Shades of Grey". So when I came across this film, I was intrigued. I like that this film is about and told by real women. It is an interesting lifestyle, who knew there were rules in the BDSM lifestyle. I learned there is a lot of communication and trust involved in the BDSM lifestyle, which makes sense. Before I saw the film, I thought they were just wild and crazy. But it turns out they are just regular people, could be your neighbors. If you are fans of the "Fifty Shades" books than you will definitely be interested in this film. Even if you are not fans of the book, it's definitely a very interesting film.

After reading "50 Shades of Grey" I wanted to learn more about the submissive/dominant culture. I heard about this documentary so I decided to check it out. Honestly seeing this real life depiction gave me a better appreciation for the life of Christian Grey and Antasasia Steele. Of course the book is more glamorous, and the subjects of "Inside 50 Shades" are more extreme in their tastes, but nonetheless it gives the viewer a glimpse into the psychology and rules that govern this community. Also I found myself questioning my own sexual preferences. The film makes a case that it is better not to be repressed, and honestly the film made me a bit curious. The film also clocks in at just under an hour so its not too long. Definitely worth a viewing!

I hadn't read "50 Shades of Grey", but was aware of the cultural impact. I watched this doc on a whim with my wife, more out of sheer curiosity about this weird somewhat secretive community. At first I found the culture of domination/submission to be odd and almost offensive. As the movie progressed I found myself not only respecting, but also becoming envious of their lifestyle. There is a point in the movie when one of the interviewees says "If people embraced their fantasies they'd be happier", and after watching this movie, even though I am too squeamish for BDSM, I did take that message to heart. The only drawback is the somewhat washed out production value, but this fly in wall education to this lifestyle more than makes up for it.
