Reviews

charlesjpfox Having watched this film a few times now; it continues to impress both with the outstanding acting of the two lead characters; and the brilliant direction.Addiction; and how its causes lay somewhere in our pasts; and the Conradian wail of The Horror The Horror. We are not bad people ; we just come from a bad place. Even redemption or self realization is only fleeting.

Dave This is a powerful drama film, which stars Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan. It's about a hypersexual middle-class man in his thirties who lives on his own in an apartment in New York City. His younger sister Sissy, who suffers from borderline personality disorder, unexpectedly comes to stay with him.

cinamalover Shame tells a story that we hear so often that it gets rather tiring. In this masterpiece however Shame presents us with layered complex characters in a rarely seen divisive story. This is a movie were you think of were you stand on the situation throughout. They're moments were the movie will flip yourself on your head and make you question not only the characters but yourself as well.10/10

benbarnes0606 Steve McQeen is one of the best film makers working today and this in my opinion is his best work although i have not yet seen Hunger, I have however seen 12 Years A Slave, the 3rd McQueen/Fassbender collaboration.Shame follows Brendan (Fassbender) a middle aged man who suffers from an extreme case of sex addiction. And that is all i'm gonna say about about the plot of the film because that's all I knew going in and that's all you should know going in.Because this film is one of the best films of all time, every shot has a purpose, every mannerism has a purpose and that's what I love about Steve McQueen, his movies aren't just a revenue stream for him their clearly his passion. McQueen had previously been an artist and it fundamentally shows in this movie, this film isn't just a piece of entertainment to pass the time on a rainy Sunday afternoon, but an experience, that's right this is an experience. This movie isn't for everyone though, if you don't like sexual themes or scenes in your films then this maybe one to steer clear from, let me just say it earns its 18+ rating.But for everyone else this is one to look out for. Do not let this one pass you by i'm telling you this is a piece of art en-captured in film.I could go on and on about this film but to sum it all up, best performance Michael Fassbender has ever delivered by far, (but since its NC-17 he got snubbed for best actor of course). Masterful directing by visionary Steve McQueen and excellent score by Harry Escott.Don't let the content of the film turn you off, this is every bit as artful as 2001 a space odyssey, they just express it differently.
