Shame


SHAME (2011) - Dec. 15, 2011
Another impeccably directed film from Steve McQueen, revolving around a man struggling with a sex addiction along with some pretty serious intimacy issues.  Features a much more straight-forward narrative than McQueen's last film, Hunger.  This is a seriously good looking movie, and is anchored by a great performance from Michael Fassbender.  The film is kind of cold, and you're always at a bit of an arm's length, but it's definitely well made and compelling throughout. ***
