I hated this movie the first time I saw it. I found it disturbing and pointless. But after seeing Fassbender's other projects, like Frank and Prometheus, I felt like I had to revisit this movie again. And, oh boy, did I find another layer of this movie. Look at it from the perspective of a struggle from an addict, and you'd appreciate this movie a lot. Can you see his frustration? His struggle? The conflicts inside him? It's amazing how an actor (a goofy one, actually) can bring all of these through an acting. And it's amazing that he cared enough to create a movie about sex addiction to make people aware of this.

Wow. This was an outstanding film in both the acting and technical categories. I warn you, this is a heavy film and is 18 rated for a reason. Naked bodies left, right and centre. This is an uneasy story about the nature of need, being desired by other people and actually wanting to matter in life. We follow a middle aged man who lives a precarious yet carefully managed lifestyle. His sister comes along and he is unable to control it. Both of their lives spiral out of control. Brandon's addiction for sex and pleasure becomes unbearable as he does whatever he can to fulfil his requirements. Sissy's love life is unrepairable and she relies on Brandon to try and help her, but he views her as a burden. The consequences are horrifying to watch, this is an extremely powerful drama. We do not hate either of these characters. We may not understand them fully but instead we empathise with them. These are dark moments in their lives and yet the phenomenal portrayals by Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan convey a type of depression to an extent. Sex addiction, or any addiction, can and will destroy parts of your life. Social, career, family...all these important elements slowly crumbling away due to something that you just cannot control. The inner torment that Fassbender is able to express was palpable, sheer masterclass in acting. Director Steve McQueen was the standout. This was the very definition of confident filmmaking. So many long takes where the characters just come alive on screen. A 2/3 minute shot of Mulligan singing to then cut to a 2/3 minute shot of Fassbender becoming emotional. A technically perfect tracking shot of Fassbender jogging down a street. A 5 minute take where Fassbender is on a date. I was in awe of McQueen's style, adored every scene. The ending may not have been as hard hitting as I had hoped for, but still poignant nonetheless. A delicate subject matter explored thoroughly and intricately, driven by fantastic performances and perfect directing. Loved it.

Brandon is a sexually active young man. He is addicted to the porn films and magazines. He is not able to maintain a relationship. His sister makes a surprise move in to stay with him. Things change when his pervert colleague dates her.A very beautiful erotic drama. A carefully made movie. Visuals are so beautiful. Experimental techniques in editing, especially the beginning and the end. Actors also did a terrific performance.A movie worth watch. Try it.#KiduMovie

We follow the life of Brandon, a man to such an extent dependent on sex and pornography that it is destroying his emotional life. The situation is quite alarming, because our protagonist is unable to bind with people, in bed he's just an animal driven by his whimsy, sex filled with emotions kills his pleasure, and a relation with his sisters is almost non- existent (each scene in which the two of them have dialogue is filled with anxiety, restlessness and timed anger). The first 20 minutes beautifully illustrates what will be the rest of the film: there is not much conversation among the characters, the narrative is a rare, much of the information the viewer receives via visuals (though not one scene stand out, it can be remarked that the film is professionally framed, essentially balm for eyes) or over the score (which is excellent). In addition to the score, the soudtrack is not bad eater, it fits well. Although explicit scenes are short, the film is well deserving of its NC-17 rating, so I recommend that you watch this alone for the sake of avoiding the inconvenience and additional explanation. Fassbender in this role ( and with that in hunger) proved to be one of the best actors working today, on par with DDL and Pheonix, and a lot of girls and some boys will be delighted by the information that he appears in the film "whole". All in all one of the best films of the 21st century, directed by one of the best directors of the 21st century.
