Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

christopher-underwood Of course the whole premise is dubious, kidnap, rape and happy ever after, and yet… This movie is beautifully lit and astonishingly beautiful to look at. Almost every frame is a ravishing treat and yet we are dealing with contentious issues here. This movie goes further into the blurring of love and need and the joys and horrors of freedom and captivity than we really want to go. If you have seen others in this controversial series you will have no doubt but that we are on a journey from kidnap and humiliation to a desperate and mutual love that nothing can prevent but still we have to question whether this is the true wisdom. Should, could, would the raped, the kidnapped become desirous, indeed of need of their captor? Maybe this is a very pretty, very affecting illustration of the cave-man ethic but however seriously one takes it philosophically it is irresistible in itself.
