A very emotional movie about the loneliness of being single and constantly on the prowl for new sexual encounters. It follows the slow deconstruction of Brandon as his life gradually falls apart, and Michael Fassbender does a great job portraying that downward spiral. At the same time, I felt like something was missing from the story. It all seemed a bit too easy, and the connection between events was somewhat weak. There was clearly more potential to dig deeper into what went wrong and why. If you are into dramas with a strong focus on sex, this is right on point. It also makes you reflect on life, whether it is your own or someone else’s. I would rate it seven out of ten. |

I kind of knew that this wouldn't be a typical hollywood flick or a random feel good movie. I've been wanting to see it since 2011 when it hit the shelfs, finally I got around to it. What I like best about the movie is it's honesty. Might not be the right word, but you know it's just the type of movie that needs to show off nudity, strong feelings and in general people when are the most vulnarble. This makes this type of movies hard to see, but also really leaves you thinking after the credits has rolled off the screen. The movie isn't in any way definitive, which really adds tremendously to the feeling of having being fed a piece of mind, rather than a piece of entertainment. The acting is so good that it's almost hurtful. It's the story of an addicted man, but also a the dynamics of a pair of very dysfunctional siblings... Do watch it, but choose the time to do so wisely... |
