Where Sam Taylor - Johnson's spin on Fifty Shades of Grey put the debonair, elusive billionaire businessman on equal footing with the charmingly awkward English student cum
hardware store clerk Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson), Fifty Shades Darker languished
in its continued fidelity to James's turgid, wheel - spinning plotting, devoting most of its attention to a doomed investigation into Christian's supposed psyche and blaming his BDSM habit on a prostitute mother and the sexual tutelage of Elena (Kim Basinger), the trilogy's Mrs. Robinson figure.

in college, looking for a job to pay some small bills, and interviewing for a position as a stock
clerk at your local
hardware store.
