Just watched: Shame
Shame
While overall I liked the film as a whole I was a little underwhelmed due to all of the hype I read on here about it. It’s not a bad film by any means but it didn’t blow me away like I expected it to. Steve McQueen has a very unique style which is a lot of show not tell. Sometimes this strategy works beautifully i.e; The first subway sequence, The scene where Brandon goes out for a late night jog. Other times it just gets too repetitive and drags on i.e; some of the sex scenes, etc. The film was perfectly executed though from an acting standpoint. Not gonna bother commenting on how great Fassbender was because no adjectives can accurately describe his performance. Carey Mulligan was also superb in her supporting role. Another shining part of Shame was it’s score. No matter what scene the mood was just right. The ending was give or take.
8/10
