Shame - 1 smile

“Shame,” starring Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan, is full of self-destructive behavior, from Brandon (Fassbender), a sex addict and his sister Sissy (Mulligan), a suicide-prone nymphomaniac. The movie is about a pair of emotional train wrecks on a collision course, leaving nothing to the imagination nor providing anything valid a normal viewer might learn along the way. “Shame” builds a depressing picture of existence, but it fails to explain why these people are they way they are. Sex becomes a substitute for plot, character development and emotional content. What does Brandon learn? What do we learn? “Shameless” seems pointless and a waste of time. Rated NC-17. 12/4/11

One of the worst films of the year....Fassbender may get an Oscar Nom for this but I doubt it. No one will want to see it. This picture will definitly lose money bid time!
