Shame 9/10
Such an emotionally draining movie. A snapshot into a brief portion of someone's life who is dealing with an addiction and demons from his past. Fassbender gave a stunning performance, and I couldn't help but feel aware of the character's state of mind in every scene just by how fluidly Fassbender portrayed him. The emotion; or in most cases, the way he distanced himself from feeling emotion, was raw and painful to watch at times. I don't think I could watch this movie again. It really took it out of me and made me take a look at my own flawed and distant relationship with my own sister. Obviously not for the reasons the characters had in the film, but because of our own demons in our childhood that have caused us to grow apart over the years. Kind of makes you realize that other people who went through similar situations could actually be having their own battle, and to be distant or harsh to them because of your own faults isn't fair to them.
