London Mums’ film critic – and unashamed western fan! – Freda Cooper, saddles up to find out more.

These days DVDs are out for sale within five months from theatre release and Fifty Shades of Grey is no exception. Fans of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele will be able to have the ultimate at home-cinema experience when Fifty Shades of Grey, the global phenomenon that grossed more than £335 million globally, comes to Digital HD, Blu-ray™ and DVD on Monday 22nd June 2015 from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. The story of a searing love affair between a naïve college student and a billionaire entrepreneur will transform an otherwise mundane Monday night as women worldwide take the love story home for the first time.

If you wondered what I think about the books and the film, here is my honest review of both – spoiler alert! Don’t read further if you haven’t seen the movie or read the books yet.
