“Sex addiction in New York City is laid bare in award-winning artist-turned-feature-filmmaker Steve McQueen's Shame. Michael Fassbender, who teamed with McQueen on his 2008 Bobby Sands biopic, Hunger, stars as Brandon, a handsome and successful 30-something with a secret life consisting of random souless sexual encounters, internet porn, and a number of restroom jerk-off sessions. A surprise visit from his equally emotionally hampered little sister Sissy (played by Carey Mulligan) serves to agitate Brandon's austere and well-groomed universe. McQueen's highly stylized, NC-17 rated psycho-drama succeeds in presenting a stark and unrelenting portrait of the intimacy-challenged.”
