On September 4, Netflix added the film Fifty Shades Freed to its catalog. Adapted from the third and final volume of the Fifty Shades trilogy, the erotic romance features Anastasia (Dakota Johnson) and Christian (Jamie Dornan), who have just said “yes” to each other for life. While the young woman is just beginning to adapt to her role as a wife, she learns that the man who set fire to the premises of the Gray company is none other than her former boss, Jack Hyde, still obsessed with the one who had rejected her. Faced with this threat, Christian immediately takes security measures and assigns two people to constantly monitor his wife, who will quickly accuse him of wanting to control her too much and of being possessive.

Fifty Shades Freed among the most viewed films of the moment on Netflix

Available on the streaming platform since September 4, the erotic romance has just entered the top of the most viewed programs, landing in tenth place in the ranking, just behind the horror thriller Firestarter with Zac Efron. Quite a revenge for this film which was destroyed by the critics when it was released in cinemas five years ago. “This final opus manages to be softer than the previous ones,” wrote the daily 20 Minutes, while Télérama recommended Fifty Shades Plus Clear “to masochistic spectators.” Le Figaro, for its part, had not been spared in criticizing James Foley’s film. “Between an innumerable number of erotic scenes, a ridiculous kidnapping attempt and an outcome that might not be more predictable, this episode, the last one we hope, rides without much imagination on the success of the saga.”

Despite the criticism, the film Fifty Shades Freed was a real commercial success. The final chapter of the erotic saga took first place at the box office during its first weekend of release in the United States, bringing in more than $38 million in revenue. After twenty weeks of release, the film starring Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson has raked in more than $370 million in revenue, including $271 million collected outside American soil. A score below the previous parts, which are also available on Netflix.
