Shame review

Definitely one of the most artistic, important and well acted films about the topic of sex. Not for kids and teenagers since it has some really frisky scenes. It's title is striking enough which means an affect, emotion, cognition, state, or condition, and it's hard to be moved by this thought provoking movie. A powerful picture like this involves a very talented and believable lead, and a solid supporting cast to make it work. Brandon (Michael Fassbender) is a successful executive with a pervert boss who abuses the company's benefits. Sissy (Carey Mulligan) is the little sister of Brandon who sings and gets with his married boss David (James Badge Dale). Score was subtle since the moments on film were powerful, acting just effective and premise just realistic. Best memorable line...

its a hard life being a sex addict

A intresting and dark movie about a guy whos main purpous in life is sex whether its hookers or picking up girls in bars or internet porn at home or work he is addicted to it and will get it anyway he can.

The relationship with his sister seems a very odd one and will leave people with some theories to why he and his sister are so messed up emotionally. , they seem close yet he seems to hate her. which in her mental state only makes her more needy. the film has nudity and sex and takes a dark turn .but its not your usual showing it for effect. its dark all the way.
if you like dark serious dramas with some naughtness then thi...

Sex Addiction - Up Close and Personal!

If you want to know whether Shame is pornographic, overly shocking, or sensationalist I'd say not at all. It's honest; interesting, heartbreaking, unapologetic and a beautifully portrayed internal struggle of someone dealing with an addiction, their relationships with friends, family and work colleagues, with hints of a troubled past.

I never thought much about sex addiction. In fact, until I saw this movie it was an addiction I scoffed at. But like all addictions it can clearly happen with sex, too. Michael Fassbender (X-Men: First Class and Inglorious Basterds) is great and he's definitely becoming one of my favorite actors delivering a stand-out performance as the volatile Brandon, a handsome and successful thirty-something sex addict but beneath that facade is intense loneliness an...
