Shame
This movie exposed more than just trauma.
Shame
most uncomfortable film i’ve ever seen
Shame
Devastating, with powderkeg performances and pristine directing, Shame hits ugly hard.
Shame
Imagine hear Peter Gabriel's My body is a Cage after watching this film... it will destroy you even more. Best McQueen film, ever.
Shame
This movie is cold and uncomfortable. Movie is less about sex and more about loneliness, addiction, intimacy and self destruction. Michael Fassbender is insane in this role, so controlled yet clearly falling apart. Not an easy watch but a powerful one that stays with you.

Waste of time

81/100 What’s crazy is that I’d probably end up like him if I had a job and decided to get action instead of rubbing it out all the time. That’s scary but true. Two incredibly powerful performances from Michael Fassbender and one of my favourite actresses Carey Mulligan. She’s always so fucking good. It’s a film about sex addiction, frustration due to the lack of it and ignorance of relationships and any sort of emotional connection. His sister is dealing with different issues whereby she’s not doing well financially or personally so her self esteem is low and that causes her to be depressed. She doesn’t have anyone to talk to. At least he communicates with people at his work. He’s depressed because this has become a repeated cycle of shit. He’s tired of it but can’t stop because he believes it keeps him sane. The few days he couldn’t do anything was when he was at his worst behaviour. The end is perhaps a hopeful one telling us he realised his shame and did not get up or maybe he just couldn’t overcome it and did indeed get up which of course is the despondent outcome. I liked this film. It’s as much as much loneliness in a big city as it is about sex addiction and lack of communication. It’s probably something that millions of people go through. This just takes it a step further in a more explicit manner.

This movie showed me that I must be careful on what to recommend because it made my friend very depressed.
Shame
Crinkled sheets and confusion. A man's sex addiction quivering under the light of day; each one lost in the eyes of a woman and her body. A state of mind lost in a complicated disorder of sorts, somewhat burdened by his unstable sister and the painful contempt that stays with him each day. This is an enslavement for Brandon—an addiction he sees as fucked up and one that channels his inner psychosis and anxiety. Steve McQueen's triumphant sophomore feature, brings overwhelming swells of music in snatches that question the mind of such a character—at one point, it first begins to strain the humiliation in an unuttered voice, and then gradually lets it boil in a stunning and truthful depiction of damaged individuals and obsession. Michael Fassbender is beyond fucking perfect, and Shame is his film of immaculate demonstration within producing the rawest of emotions. I'm floored. 4.5/5
Shame
only the real ones remember sneaking into nc-17 screenings of this and gasping so loud at seeing fassbender’s dick that they got escorted out. no? just me? oh...
