'365 DNI': Netflix Movie's Graphic Sex Scenes Rival 'Fifty Shades of Grey'

By Christian Long

Netflix shocked numerous viewers with a collection of graphic sex scenes featured in the newly-released film, 365 DNI — which translates to 365 Days — on the streaming platform. The film, a Polish crime drama that hit the streaming service in both the U.S. and the U.K. on Sunday, centers on business executive Laura Biel (Anna-Maria Sieklucka) who gets kidnapped by a mafia boss while on vacation in Sicily.

Throughout Laura's kidnapping, mob boss Massimo Torricelli (Michele Morrone) gives her one year to fall in love with him, the Daily Mail reports. Over those 12 months, Massimo forces her into acts voyeurism, BDSM and sex. Based on Blanka Lipińska's book of the same name, 365 DNI is already drawing comparisons to Fifty Shades of Grey, which caused a stir of its own when it first hit theaters back in 2015 and when E.L. James' novel was published in 2011.

Given the subject matter is already uncomfortable and potentially triggering, the unflinching portrayal of the illicit acts has caused quite a stir online. Fans of the film have praised it, while others have been so offended it seems they could be rethinking their subscriptions. Here's a look at some of the polarizing reactions over the Netflix movie.
