Movie Review: Shame
We went and saw Shame at our local art house theater early this evening to kick off New Year’s Eve. Glad we did- we practically had the place to ourselves.
One Line Synopsis
A sex addict cannot have intimate, personal relationships with women.
Director
Steve McQueen
Standout Actors
Michael Fassbender, Lucy Walters
Best Bit Part
Robert Montano as the annoying waiter.
Michael Fassbender is a controlled and courageous actor. The guy’s just spectacular in this movie. I can’t think of anyone else who could make this character more true to life. The only negatives are the movie dragged a little, and if I had to sit through one more verse and chorus of his sister singing New York New York I would have probably left the theatre.
Happy New Year, everyone!
