Movie synopsis
An outwardly ordinary man must come to terms with his inner compulsions in this powerful drama from filmmaker Steve McQueen. Brandon (Michael Fassbender) is a successful businessman in his early thirties who lives in New York. To most around him, Brandon seems cool and introverted, but inside he is wrestling with a powerful sexual appetite; he's obsessed with pornography and prefers short-term relationships with women that allow him to keep the world at arm's length. The grim routine of Brandon's life is upended when his sister Sissy (Carey Mulligan) stops by for an extended visit without prior notice. While Brandon is reserved, Sissy is an outgoing and flashy musician, and she doesn't seem to care about her brother's need for privacy. When Sissy forces Brandon to look closely at his life, he comes to understand the circumstances that made him the man he is today as his veneer of calm begins to crack. SHAME won the Firpresci Award (presented by the International Federation of Film Critics) at the 2011 Venice Film Festival.

Editorial reviews

"[W]orth seeing primarily for Michael Fassbender's mesmerizing performance....The camera lingers on Fassbender's subtly riveting face and chiseled physique."
USA Today - Claudia Puig (12/02/2011)

"[B]oth unflinching and unnerving, this is a psychologically claustrophobic film that strips its characters bare literally and figuratively, leaving them, and us, nowhere to hide."
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (12/02/2011)

"Mulligan is terrific here, and restrained in a way that suggests an actorly generosity unusual for someone so young..."
Movieline - Stephanie Zacharek (12/01/2011)

3 stars out of 5 -- "Holding shots for many minutes at a time, employing extreme close ups and letting his actors do the heavy lifting McQueen is the auteur darling of the moment....He has undeniable talent and clear ideas of the story he wants to tell."
Box Office - Pete Hammond (11/30/2011)

"Driven by a brilliant, ferocious performance by Michael Fassbender, SHAME is a real walk on the wild side, a scorching look at a case of sexual addiction that's as all-encompassing as a craving for drugs."
Hollywood Reporter - Todd McCarthy (09/04/2011)

"Fassbender delivers a riveting performance, giving himself over completely to become a man addicted to lust."
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum (12/09/2011)

"[I]t’s told with tremendous clarity and power....Again, Fassbender leaves nothing in reserve." -- Grade: B+
A.V. Club - Scott Tobias (12/01/2011)

"[T]he director brings his artist's eye to every frame of the film..."
Wall Street Journal (12/02/2011)

4 stars out of 4 -- "SHAME contains unblinking truth....This is a great act of filmmaking and acting."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (11/30/2011)

3 stars out of 4 -- "As in HUNGER, McQueen favors long, uninterrupted takes, which gives Fassbender's extraordinary gift for expression free rein....There's no doubt that SHAME burrows into one's consciousness and stays there..."
Washington Post (12/02/2011)

"[McQueen] is at his best when staging wrestling bouts -- be they psychological, intellectual or erotic."
Sight and Sound - Sight and Sound Critic (02/01/2012)

4 stars out of 5 -- "SHAME remains a provocative portrait of a man in thrall to uncontrollable desire. It's battering and ballsy..."
Total Film - Rosie Fletcher (02/01/2012)

Great experience

Yes, I would recommend this product to a friend.

Loved the movie, it's beautifully made. Believable characters that deal with issues that a large percentage of the population face in these times. It shows the downward spiral of the main character, Brandon and how his sexual addiction takes over his life. This addiction leads to Brandon not being able to connect with anyone. A very thought provoking - intense movie, hard to watch at times.

Michael Fassbender is STINKING hot in this movie. His portrayal of this role is amazing. This had to be an extremely difficult role to pull off. You don't see a person acting out a role, you simply see Brandon. This is a role you wouldn't typically expect from Carey Mulligan. She is simply adorable in most of her movies. This is definitely a different role for her and one she's extremely good at.

This DVD Is For Adults Only!

Yes, I would recommend this product to a friend.

This is a provocative NC-17 drama about a man's addiction to sexual gratification. It features full frontal nudity by Michael Fassbender. It's definitely for adults only.

Awesome movie. Michael Fassbender at his best.

Yes, I would recommend this product to a friend.

I loved the movie, but the sex addict thing is somewhat over-rated, not really interesting because if it was serious he would have seen a Doctor or therapist.
