Steve McQueen’s Hunger completely blew my mind in 2009. It’s a brooding, grim and aggressive protest movie hat possesses the audacity to prioritize complicated character motivations over a specific message. Enough good things cannot be said about that film. If McQueen’s new film, Shame, has any semblance of his previous work’s quality, we are in for another treat.Word on the street is that it won’t blow the roof of the joint like Hunger did but it’s no slouch. Trying to keep expectations in check.
