The sequel to Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades Darker continues the story of Anatasia Steele and Christian Grey. After leaving Christian in the previous film, Anatasia finds herself inexplicably drawn back to him despite her reservations about their relationship. As the two grow close again, secrets from Christian's past come back to haunt him, and Anatasia must decide if her love for Christian outweighs everything that comes with being in a relationship with him. The film stars Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan as Anatasia and Christian, with a further cast that includes Eric Johnson, Bella Heathcote, and Kim Basinger.
While Fifty Shades Darker exceeds its predecessor in some ways, in other respects it's just as ridiculous (if not more so) by comparison.
