Review of Shame (2011) by Sandra M — 22 Dec 2012

I suppose it's best to first address 'the elephant in the room" and that being the incredibly gorgeous and talented Michael Fassbender and what an enormous "talent" he has. However, this is not a sexy movie, it's terribly sad to see how this man spends every waking minute trying to hide the pain of his childhood with a debilitating, self depreciating addiction.

Carey Mulligan is outstanding, as usual, playing Brandon's sister Sissy. Difficult subject matter which resulted in brilliant performances from the both Fassbender and Mulligan. Not a movie I would see with your Nanna, it's pretty graphic.
