Having had her fill of his "sadistic intimacy," Ms. Steele has taken a break from Mr. Grey and begun a new job doing independent publishing. Claiming to be a changed man, the seemingly chivalrous Mr. Grey seeks out Ms. Steele hoping to rekindle their romance, only this time he's open to a vanilla relationship without rules, without punishment, but most importantly: without secrets. Of course complications arise as she delves deeper into his checkered past and he continues to grapple with his inner demons. Johnson and Dornan look more at ease playing their respective roles this time around and of course it features the requisite amount of rough and steamy coitus, but it also has its share of overwrought melodrama which doesn't exactly make for high-end entertainment. **
