Uncompromising, unflinching, yet beautifully made, plunge into sexual addiction. Featuring a masterful performance by Michael Fassbender (who was robbed) as well as Carey Mulligan. Was it deserving of an NC17, no, I've seen a lot worse, but that isn't to say it holds back. The genius of it is that the sex is neither glamorized or titillating, it actually makes sex depressing. A fitting companion film would be Requiem For Dream, both expertly done films on addiction. This also stands as further proof that Steve McQueen is one of the finest filmmakers working today. (contains strong sexuality including graphic nudity and dialogue, violence,and language.)
