One of the strangest things about this movie is how it includes a number of subplots that appear to catapult it into erotic thriller territory, the first of which sees one of Christian's emotionally unstable former submissives, Leila (Bella Heathcote) stalking Christian.

Apparently she wanted a relationship with Christian after their sex contract ended, but he didn't. Then she got married, but her husband died, causing her to suffer a nervous breakdown, hence why she looks majorly disheveled and is now stalking Ana and Christian, even gaining access to Christian's garage and ruining Ana's car with paint.

It all reaches a ridiculous crescendo when Leila gets into Ana's apartment and pulls a gun on her, firing a stray round before being subdued by Christian and his bodyguard Taylor (Max Martini).

Christian then pulls out some of his BDSM tricks to make her compliant, forcing her to her knees and stroking her hair. It's...weird.
