Summary: A tough, brutal and VERY graphic film
Review: Manu and Nadine are two women from different worlds, but fate will bring them together on a bloodbath ride to change their destinies.When Manu is brutally [abused] she is pushed over the edge with a rage that only killing will cure. Nadine is a tough-skinned prostitute with a hate for herself and what she has become. A chance encounter brings the two women together and what ensues is a road trip filled with sex, and blood-shed ultimately forcing the two to question what life has in store for them, and if life is worth living. Going further into the plot of this movie would be difficult for there is not much to say other than it is VERY SEXUALLY EXPLICIT. The film is a lot like 'Thelma And Louise' the only two differences are:
it's in French, and the sex scenes are that of porno films. Many might be offended by the graphic nature of this film, but the director chose to be hard-core to show the brutal life these women lead. Using men for sex, and then either discarding them or killing them Manu and Nadine enact their revenge for a world they feel has made them monsters. The two main characters are played by veterans of the French adult film industry, so it should come as no surprise how graphic this movie is, and if anyone is looking for a sexy, erotic film look elsewhere because this isn't it...this movie is a tough and serious depiction of two twisted women on a rage-filled journey into madness. NOT FOR EVERYONE! Nick Gonnella

Summary: a little bit of eye candy, a lot of lousy film-making
Review: The eye candy comes from seeing the two quite sexy (but not necessarily "beautiful") lead actresses in a couple of pretty good and very graphic (as in *hardcore porn* graphic) sex scenes...the rest is just painfully bad, poorly acted, poorly directed and overdone. Sure it's trying to provide some IMPORTANT SOCIAL COMMENTARY, but does so very poorly...no comparison to "Thelma and Louise." Feels like it was done by some horny high-schoolers with Daddy's camcorder and a very big soapbox. Definitely not a date movie, nor a particularly good Rosie And Her Five Sisters movie either.

Summary: Meaningless pornography
Review: I can potentially accept some elements of pornography in the movie if this serves some purpose (like in 'Empire of Passion' by Oshima). But in this movie pornographic clips are totally meaningless. The movie itself is very pathetic and extremelly boring. It is very much like amateur home-made movie. The only thing that is common with 'Thelma and Louise' is that both movies have two women running loose as main characters. I understand that creators and actors came from porno business. Maybe it was their attempt to move to mainstream. Well, their attempt failed.

Summary: GOOD!!!!!!!
Review: It's easy to see why this movie is at the center of so much controversy. Its sexual content and its extreme violence surely made a few people walk out of its screening. The story is about two French girls who meet and go on a really special «Tour de France». They're on a killing spree and nobody seems to be safe from their new found libido (using a gun as to eliminate somebody else's life). (...) It's the hard-core version of Thelma & Louise. But at the end, you have the feeling that the movie could have been better. It would have been nice to know a little bit more why those two girls find satisfaction in killing. Yes, one has been raped (explicitly depicted at the beginning of the movie) and the other is a prostitute with her own problems, but what is it that draw them together. That's not entirely clear. Still, it's a good movie and it's about time that someone crossed the line of certain taboos.

Summary: Like watching a train wreck
Review: I saw this movie in theaters in New York, and wasn't quite sure what to make of it. It got a lot of press, and the dozen or so other people in the theater were all exchanging naughty glances and embarassed smiles . . . and then the movie started, and I couldn't stop watching. I don't know if it was a good or bad movie, as a movie, but you really can't look at it that way. It was an experience, and it was different from any other movie I've ever seen. In ways it felt totally cartoonish, and in ways it felt very real. I still get chills when I think about the rape scene, which is quite disturbing for it's "realness" . . . The sex scenes are quite graphic, but not nearly as graphic as a bad porn . . . they're lit like a film and lack close-ups. The only really well-lit, clearly focused penetration is in the rape scene, and is followed by the guy punching the woman in the face . . . The violence also felt pretty raw . . . in a way, this movie does much more than a lot of movies in letting you live it vicariously. If real people went on a sex-and-shooting spree, it wouldn't feel like Natural Born Killers. It would feel like this movie. I think that's why it caught me. It feels like something that could happen, and it doesn't feel contrived, just a little weird. In the end, it's like a really big scab. It's kind of gross, but you're fascinated and can't stop looking at it.

Summary: Thelma and Louise Do Tricks!
Review: How thin is the line between art and pornography? and how much can a director show sexual and violent images to get his/her message across? All these questions came to my mind watching Baiser-Moi, a film that has naturally courted so much controversy because of its excessive violence and hard core images.
In Caligula, the hard core content was, despite its very explicit nature, more like a tongue-in-cheek attempt by producer Bob Guccione to spice up his film the only way he knows how.In Irreversible, the extended rape scene while bordering on the pornographic, was filmed in a way as to make it utterly shocking, disgusting and powerful and never gratitious.Indeed the whole film in its reversed style had a serene ending,and offered some relief to the viewers,albeit twisted.
Baiser-Moi,who was co directed and acted by porn veterans in their first mainstream attempt,is by contrast very nihilistic! Sex and violence are very much interlinked with no redemption for any of the characters.This fact has caused censors a lot of headaches, and although I am primarily against censorship in any form,I can somehow see where they were coming from.
Revenge is the main theme in Baiser Moi:The rape of one woman, leads to a series of murders of 'clients'by the two prostitutes,bonded by a strong friendship and a linked fate.
Maybe the only interesting aspect of the film is the fact that this friendship is never compromised,and despite the women's obvious hate of men, they do not turn to lesbianism,( even for the sake of increased viewing interest!)but rather remain strongly bonded by a platonic and intense affection.
The similarities between Thelma and Louise do exist obviously, but while Ridley Scott treated the relationship of the two women and their flight from injustice with grace and sympathy,Baiser Moi shows it in a raw,and 'in your face' style, and it can not get more 'in your face' than this!.
While in Thelma and Louise you leave the theatre with a sense of loss due to the sympathy you have developed for the two lead characters,in Baiser Moi you will wonder whether you will be able to watch any movies for some time.
If the hard core content interests you,think carefully, because the sex in Baiser Moi is vindictive, hateful and depressing, with a lot of pain and anxiety attached to it: None of the characters show or feel any pleasure in the sexual acts,for in their minds,the women have revenge and murder,and the men have exploitation and degradation.
Save your time and money on better films, and while the debate about pornography and art will probably never be resolved due to the highly subjective nature of this issue,you can be sure of one thing, Baiser Moi, does not succeed in either.

Summary: Bottom line is the movie sucks.
Review: After seeing the controversial Irreversible, I bought this movie thinking it would offer the same quality of realism. Boy was I wrong..thankfully I bought it like new for $12.95. It's essentially "Thelma & Louise without Hollywood sentiment" to quote others. I disagree with Amazon's editoral review statement "depicting both sex and violence with unglamorous realism". If it weren't for the few brief explicit clips the sex scenes would rate as poor grade softcore. So called high grade softcore like the Emanuelle in Space collection is much more real. Actually makes you wonder if all of the sex in the movie is truly real or a mix of fake and real..guess you just have to believe since the stars are real life porn stars. There's lots of explicit violence but none of it seems especially real..see Irreversible for a strong dose of violence realism. Even movies like Goodfella's and Donny Brasco offer more realistic violence. Bottom line is the movie sucks.

Summary: Two stars for the rape scene....
Review: I thought I had reviewed this film already....but in checking out the site, I noticed Amazon negated my review...so I'll try again!
Come on perv's out there....why buy this film if not for the "graphic" sex scenes right? Well, the rape scene was graphic, however, it failed in all other aspects miserably! This is one senseless violent act after another comitted by two rather normal looking, cheap whores! I wouldn't waste my money on this one...in fact, I returned it to the store I bought it from!
Enough said?

Summary: Le Peeeeeeew!!!!!
Review: This film was pretty lame. It was also quite boring, even with a short running time. Maybe the film would be at least partially enjoyed if it weren't promoted to be something it isn't. We're talking about nothing more than trashy B cinema here, and it should have been promoted as such. Instead it seemed like the joke was on the audience, having been lured into this movie by it's gag only to find out it was a cruddy Thelma and Louise wannabe. Baise-Moi isn't as original as it seems to think it is either. Remember the other attempt to bring hardcore sex to mainstream film, Caligula? Remember that failed as well? Before you storm the foreign section for this title, desperate to see what the big deal is, I'd suggest taking home Caligula instead. It may be 70 minutes longer, but it's not nearly as boring and you'll get many more laughs out of it.

Summary: Baise Moi In The Eyes Of A 13 Year Old
Review: Well it all started when my french mum was recomended this film by a french friend. I thought the movie was very awful i was gaging in pain at the rape scene, even half closing my eyes, even the sound made me feel sick. Story? Well this movie has not much of a story, just a pornstar and prostitute get revenge after being violently raped by a gang of thugs. They end up going on a roadtrip killing anyone in their way. What also bothers me is the fact that some of the reviewers here found this movie eyecandy when watching this movie is like watching a snuff. Sure its okay to enjoy porno, but rape(with violence) that is very sick. The sex scenes are very graphic and real, even though the violence is fake however it looked pretty realistic. After watching this movie my parents and i agreed that this is the worst movie ever. Oh and i read a review by someone here and they said something like this movie makes "i spit on your grave" look like a pg-13 movie, well i gotta say it did to. ...
