Sex & Nudity
Several explicit sex scenes with nearly full-frontal nudity, including close-up breasts, buttocks and glimpses of genitalia, plus bondage and dominant-submissive content (BDSM).
Violence & Gore
Christian spanks and hits Ana, sometimes hard enough to leave a mark; in one scene he hits her six times so hard she cries and leaves upset. Activities are consensual but involve physical pain.
Profanity
Frequent strong language, including many uses of "f--k" in sexual and declarative senses, plus "s--t" and "a--hole."
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
Lots of wine drinking throughout, including during one sex scene; Ana gets drunk on shots at a club and drunk-dials Christian.

A potentially disturbing scene where Christian punishes Anastasia, hurting her so much she weeps, which may be upsetting for some viewers.
