Brandon is an outwardly ordinary man with very strong
inner compulsions. He's a businessman in his early thirties living in
New York. He seems cool and introverted but inside he has a very
powerful sexual appetite,
he's obsessed with pornography and he cannot establish relationships.
Keeping the world at arm's length is his way of life. His sister comes
for an unexpected visit, she is outgoing and flashy but with problems
of her own.This movie has a NC17 rating, it is very powerful visually and emotionally plus dark and brutal. You can feel Brandon's pain, his sister has her own pain but for different reasons. Edge-of-your-seat reactions because you want to have hope that both Brandon and his sister get help to change their lives but can they or will they? 4* (I really liked this movie).
99 min, Drama directed by Steve McQueen with Michael Fassbender, Carey Mulligan, James Badge Dale, Nicole Beharie, Lucy Walters, Mari-Ange Ramirez, Elizabeth Massucci, Rachel Farrar, Loren Omer.
Note: Blockbuster 4*, imdb 7.7 out of 10, 80% critic 79% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
