After a Friday night of studying diligently I was ready to wind down with a movie, so I watched Shame. It was hard to watch, but maybe not as hard to watch as you'd think a movie about sex addiction could be.
Michael Fassbender was really good in this. It definitely couldn't have been an easy role. Carey Mulligan, however, I think was miscast. Didn't dig her performance so much. Her British accent came through a couple of times... there was a really terrible, drawn out scene where she was singing "New York, New York" that was harder to watch than the gritty sex scenes. Yawn.
Liked the camerawork, it was meticulous and I enjoyed how darkness was employed in many shots. Definitely a very subtle story that tells a lot without words. yadda yadda
