By this point, you have probably heard of Michael Fassbender. Besides being penis-joke fodder for George Clooney, the actor propelled into the spotlight in 2011 with roles in 'A Dangerous Method,' 'X-Men: First Class,' and the NC-17-rated 'Shame' -- the...

The look, the acting and feel to the movie are all excellent. But the story is very unsatisfying. Watching someone disintegrate isn\'t very entertaining or enlightening when any type of reasoning is... n\'t offered. Full Review
Great acting.... Sad scenario in some ways.... Cary Mulligan was great.... A must see.
I am no movie critic, and, though love movies, very very selective and rarely go to a theater and I am working on that, as I do enjoy them so. I rarely critique them, actually usually over rating them... thus do not bother, but, this movie has been on my mind since I saw it before Christmas 2011. A friend won free tickets through a Montreal magaziine he likes, The Mirror Mag. I think it is. We went, in short, the theater was about 1/3 full. I thought I was going to learn something, perhaps compassion about sex addiction since everyone in Hollywood and professional sports is jumping on this addiction or drugs or \"something these days\". Anyway, I wanted to walk out of a movie for the very first time in my life, not once or twice, butnumerous times! I openly groaned at the long tedious repeatitive scenes, could care less about full male frontal nudity for the first time apparently, or so I was told and by the time it happened, I was so upset and unhappy, I wished he had not! TImidly, and regreting it to this day, I stayed. Terrible, one of the worst movies I have ever seen. SUrely there are worse and may I never see them! Sorry but this is a horrible movie, even for free. The friend and I were so upset we reesorting to even complaining about pyaing for popcorn over it. Lol. Sorry. I learned nothing of sexual addiction except this fellow, his sister and likely family is just plain screwed up, & ***** happens, if I am going to die, of an addiction, having learned nothing, may it be this one.

Very slow, and I never was able to understand what this guy\'s problem was. Or his sister\'s.
