A solid character study that is difficult to enjoy but hard not to appreciate.

The New York City of "Shame" is a place so cold, so distanced, so removed from flesh-and-blood humanity, that it's the only place a man like Brandon can truly be alone.

By the time Brandon's quite literally cruising for a bruising, the film has no credibility left whatsoever.

Few filmmakers have plumbed the soul-churning depths of sexual addiction as fearlessly as British director Steve McQueen has in Shame.

Michael Fassbender is everywhere right now for a reason: his performance is fantastic.

Shame is something of a dirty date that leaves you wondering what went wrong.

The film is a raw, unsparing look at the downside of humanity.

The ferocity of the performances and McQueen's formal relentlessness left me pulverized.

It reconfirms McQueen as a filmmaker with an unflinching, microscopic gaze on the world.

[Fassbender is] so good as a man completely lost to his baser impulses that it makes "Shame" worth sitting through. Enjoying? That's a relative term. But you'll certainly appreciate it.

The film's numb attitude assumes that Brandon's problem is beyond reach or rescue. So why are we watching, except for high-tone misery and something close to pornography?
