Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Shame is something of a dirty date that leaves you wondering what went wrong.
– Tom Long,
Detroit News,
16 Dec 2011
fresh:
Few filmmakers have plumbed the soul-churning depths of sexual addiction as fearlessly as British director Steve McQueen has in Shame.
– Justin Chang,
Variety,
29 Dec 2011
fresh:
It reconfirms McQueen as a filmmaker with an unflinching, microscopic gaze on the world.
– Dave Calhoun,
Time Out,
10 Jan 2012
fresh:
The film is a raw, unsparing look at the downside of humanity.
– Calvin Wilson,
St. Louis Post-Dispatch,
20 Jan 2012
rotten:
The film's numb attitude assumes that Brandon's problem is beyond reach or rescue. So why are we watching, except for high-tone misery and something close to pornography?
