"Driven by a brilliant and ferocious performance by Michael Fassbender," (Hollywood Reporter) Shame tells the riveting story of Brandon, a handsome New York businessman with a dark and destructive secret. His solitary existence is shaken by the unexpected arrival of his sister Sissy (Carey Mulligan, An Education), another damaged soul who brings memories of a painful shared past. Graphic, highly provocative and undeniably powerful, "Shame is the most devastating and thought-provoking cinematic experiences of the entire year." (Richard Roeper)

A terrific and respectfully bold sophomore feature from Steve McQueen, SHAME is a daring and unflinching look into the life of a man trapped by his own sex addiction within his self-contained, controlled and compartmentalized world. Michael Fassbender delivers an unrestrained performance as Brandon, and easily makes a strong claim as one of the best actors of this current generation - he manages to encompass the gentlemen-like, pedestrian, obsessive, and self-destructive behaviors of his character into a single believable man, and does so by carrying the film from start to finish, impressively capitalizing on a plethora of complex and difficult emotions. He is a man in which we attempt to sympathize with, but end up observing through mere interest and sheer helplessness. And when his younger sister arrives (also a great performance by Carey Mulligan), Brandon's disrupted world comes spiraling down with a painful crash.

SHAME is an explicit and provocative film, one that is not for the faint-hearted, but likewise one that is excellent and admirably well-made.
