4 out of 10 An insight into real humanity
Maeve from Cavan, 21 Jun 2012
This film has me sitting thinking about it 2 days later. The story is lacking in detail deliberately. I found this very hard to watch - there is a lot of tension and many of the scenes are awkward.. of course this only give the watcher an uneasy feeling for most of the film. It really brings you into how sexual addiction is just as damaging as alcohol, drugs or gambling. A piece of brilliance and it's not a story you will find on the shelves already.

4 out of 10 Disturbing but brilliant
david from Dublin, 05 Jul 2012
While the subject matter could turn people off, i would highly recommend the movie. Carey mulligan is brilliant but the star is onviously michael fassbender. The movie keeps you guessing re thei background story and two weeks on i still keep thinking about the movie.

2.5 out of 10 Basically porn
Liz from Cork, 13 Feb 2013
I knew this was about a sex addict, but whoa- didn't realise we'd be watching a couple of hours of this crazy man's escapades! Other than that, Carey Mulligan and Michael Fassbender are great and it's a good film that shows the ugly side of addiction.

3.5 out of 10 Good film
Nuala from Dublin, 10 May 2013
This is a good film that could have been a great film but there was just to many unanswered questions... but worth watching. It is disturbing and gripping and will stay with you for a few days. If you like inde films then this one is for you

1 out of 10 Downer
Linda from Kerry, 29 Jun 2012
Film goes nowhere. Depressing, sex addiction plot. Never learn what characters are really about and sex scenes never really 'sexy'. Too bad Michael Fassbender talent wasted.

What's it about....
Brandon is a 30-something man living in New York who is unable to manage his sex life. After his wayward younger sister moves into his apartment, Brandon's world spirals out of control. From director Steve McQueen (Hunger), Shame is a compelling and timely examination of the nature of need, how we live our lives and the experiences that shape us.
