As an outsider, I did feel like this movie gave some insight into a realistic BDSM relationship, but that's about the only good thing about it. In particular, it seems to sabotage itself with some bizarre missteps, like intercutting interviews with the actors and other self-referential moments, and camerawork that emphasizes the voyeurism of the audience. It also has what may be the worst soundtrack ever.
