Reception
Austin critic Korey Coleman of Double Toasted lambasted the film, criticizing the storytelling, characters, and ending. He went on to call it one of the worst movies that he has ever seen.[6] Movie Nation gave Kinky 2 stars out of five, comparing it to 50 Shades of Grey, but for Black people. They said the movie has "Bad acting by pretty people, awesome sex scenes but not a lot of S&M wear, What is this, “Fifty Shades of Ebony?”"[7]
