Shame is a raw and provocative story of a man (Michael Fassbender) who is battling an aggressive sex addiction when his sister (Carey Mulligan) moves in. The most proper way I can think to describe the film is disturbingly beautiful. Michael Fassbender carries this movie with his superb performance, dedicating himself to the character. His inner turmoil is accentuated with the beautiful dramatic score. The film itself is exquisitely and artistically shot and contains some extremely long takes, showcasing the skill of the director and the actors. Overall, this movie has some of the greatest acting and cinematography in motion pictures and tells a dramatic, compelling, and emotional story. 7.6/10
