Critics Consensus

Fifty Shades Freed brings its titillating trilogy to a clumsy conclusion, making for a film franchise that adds up to a distinctly dissatisfying ménage à trois.

Kermode & Mayo's Film Review

Aug 28, 2018

The dialog is very terrible. And the problem, therefore, is that the actors have to wrestle with very terrible dialog.

Its makers have somehow convinced themselves that there's not only a story we care about, but an arc to be followed.

2/5

This repetitive, glassy-eyed finale feels more like a weak victory lap, offering little pleasure but plenty of lifestyle porn (not to mention product placement) by way of luxury cars, a decadent Paris honeymoon and an enviable alpine view bubble bath.

1.5/4

The best film in the trilogy. Yet considering the general awfulness of this franchise, this is the equivalent of saying it’s better to lose only one finger rather than three in an industrial accident.

.5/4

With all-time great, comes all time-bad, and 2018 has provided cinephiles with the conclusion, oh I’m sorry, the climax of the worst trilogy of all time, the Fifty Shades trilogy.

2.5/5

It's as doofily entertaining, eye-rollingly awful, surprisingly steamy, and expectedly boring as all the other Fifty Shades films.

Movie did not live up to the hype, but I'm glad I saw the last of the trilogy.

I didn't quite grasp why this third installment is titled "Freed," given that the premise centers on the characters’ marriage. It’s clear that an external conflict—a kidnapping—was introduced to heighten the characters' emotions; however, what this actually triggers is a sense of even more intense, violent tension. It is the expected conclusion for a romance-driven trilogy (the wedding), yet it lacks the narrative and cinematic quality of the preceding parts. A plus, however, is the suggestion that BDSM or "unconventional" sexual experiences don't necessarily have to end once a couple gets married.

OMG, I genuinely don't understand why this movie has such mixed reviews. It has everything and so much more than many of today's predictable romantic films. I loved the passion, the emotional depth, the care the characters showed for each other, the importance of setting boundaries, being open to change, good communication and the mystery and the willingness to risk everything for love. And yes, the intimate scenes were an important part of the story. They didn't feel unnecessary they showed a couple who could play, connect, have fun and express their love in a real and natural way. There are so many more things I could say, but I'll leave it at this: I absolutely loved it. It's probably one of my all-time favourite movies because it has it all romance, emotion, passion, suspense, incredible chemistry between the actors and a beautiful progression in the story. The way everything connects by the end is simply brilliant.
