Shame



What I liked:
  • Michael Fassbender gave a fantastic performance.  He says so much without uttering a word because his eyes are so expressive.  He definitely deserves an Oscar nomination for Best Actor.
  • Carey Mulligan was great as the messed up little sister.  Her performance of "New York, New York" was slow but haunting and poignant.
  • I wish they would make this film into a series, opening with the scene in the nightclub where Sissy sings and then flashing back to the time where Brandon and Sissy were kids.  Their past would make for one emotional drama.
  • It was well written by Steve McQueen and Abi Morgan.
  • McQueen also does a beautiful job directing.  
  • James Badge Dale!
  • Love the movie poster.

What I didn't like:
  • Some of the scenes are a little drawn out and slow...

Grade: A-
