92 minute running time … Shame was one of the best movies I saw from 2011 so I was already a big Steve McQueen / Fassbender fan … this movie was also excellent, the only trouble was my disc (from Criterion) didn’t have subtitles so I had to read along with the script since 90% of it was incomprehensible. There’s a 22-minute one-take conversation between Fassbender and the priest, of which I understood absolutely nothing said. This is a green-go, assuming you have the script to follow along.
I agree with Rex: “It's a brilliant work of power, maturity and vision that should not be missed.”
