2. Shame - Directed by Steve McQueen
Starring: Michael Fassbender, Carey Mulligan, James Badge Dale
Shame is one of the hardest films you'll ever sit through because it is so raw, natural, and raw. It doesn't hold back in displaying the harshness of humanity and the nauseating results of addiction. Director Steve McQueen presents a naked movie, literally and figuratively, with this gritty tale that takes place in the heart of Manhattan in New York City. It's an intense character study of what drives such a sick person and what slight annoyances or surprises can completely destroy his perfectly laid out and executed routine that satisfies his addiction to sex. Michael Fassbender gives one of the greatest performances of all time leading the film as Brandon, his pain is so evident through his inability to love and treat other human beings, especially women, as more than just players in sexual activities. Fassbender is perfectly cast in the role physically as well, Brandon has this power that makes him undeniably attractive to any female passerby, and Fassbender is one of the only actors who can make that power (some may call it a super power) believable. Supporting Fassbender is the amazing and beautiful Carey Mulligan who is Brandon's dependent sister, Sissy. Despite being his sister, Sissy is an obstacle in Brandon's life and he treats her with a lack of comfort, respect, and love. Their twisted relationship is beautifully captured on screen. Shame is no easy watch, but once it's over, you'll be glad you watched it.
