Mini Review - Shame
- Details
- Written by Matthew Toomey
Shame (out Feb 9) is one of the best films of the year. The story is fascinating in itself but it’s Steve McQueen’s careful direction that gives it a seductive, hypnotic edge. He takes us into the life of a sex addict and there’s very little respite. The lack of editing, curious camera angles and odd choice of music will leave many feeling uncomfortable. It's brilliant filmmaking. Grade: A.
