Posted November 27, 201113 yr Brandon is a 30-something man living comfortably in New York balancing a busy job and active social life. When the wayward Sissy, turns up at his apartment unannounced, Brandon's carefully managed lifestyle spirals out of control. arD1Hmjlqag Really looking forward to this. Directed by Steve McQueen :wub: and starring Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan. It's been getting pretty much universal acclaim and if Hunger's anything to go by the cinematography will be stunning.
November 28, 201113 yr Carey Mulligan is flat out amazing in this, and I've never been that convinced by her before. It's been over a month since I saw it and she's still vibrant in my mind. Fassy is brilliant too, of course. There's a bit of obvious storytelling but it's a very powerful piece of work.
November 28, 201113 yr It does look incredible. Probably the film I'm most excited about watching next month.
November 30, 201113 yr Seeing this next week and Steve McQueen is doing a Q&A after. Should be interesting!

December 9, 201113 yr This was superb. McQueen is such an ingenius director. The entire film definitely striking, thought-provoking and wonderfully shot (obviously not comparable to 'The Tree of Life' or 'Melancholia' in terms of beautiful cinematography but still very well done). It's a raw film but wasn't exactly overtly explicit (although there is one scene in a bar where Fassbender is fingering a random woman and makes her boyfriend smell his fingers) and I'm sure they could have gotten away with a 15 rating. Just. I'm sure both Fassbender (especially) and Mulligan will be nominated for their performances, both were brilliant. Great score as well. Gah. Film of the year for me.
January 15, 201213 yr Author Just back from seeing this and I absolutely loved it. As expected with McQueen it looked incredible and I loved the open-ended ending. I especially liked the threesome scene purely for how it was shot and the music/sound. Gave me goosebumps as you see the look of realisation on his face. So much appreciation too for all the long shots in it. This was superb. McQueen is such an ingenius director.

They must get nominations for this. Like randomfurlong said Carey Mulligan especially suprised me!
March 4, 201213 yr This is one of the best films of the year so far for me. There were some parts where I felt like it dragged on for a while but I found it to be such a tragic film. I found the ending in particular to be quite depressing. It was beautifully shot though. It's a shame I was the only one out of my circle of friends to appreciate it though. I got a lot of 'If I had paid to see it, I would've walked out and asked for my money back'.
