Much has been written about visual artist, Steve McQueen’s latest feature film, Shame. The story of thirty something, New York, sex addict Brandon Sullivan, the film is an unflinching portrayal of the nature of addiction.

Shame has certainly been garnering a lot of media attention in recent weeks, most of which has been overwhelmingly positive. The film’s two leads Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan, have been particularly singled out for their brilliant and brave performances.
