Brandon clearly loves sex, whether it is free or to be paid for, whether with women he knows or does not, whether in person or online, he just wants to have sex, and as much as he can possibly get. But his sex fuelled life changes when his somewhat troubled sister, Sissy, arrives and ends up staying in his apartment. It makes it tricky now to bring women back for sex, or even to pleasure himself in his bathroom without his Sister bursting in on him.
I am not sure whether I read it wrong, but one wonders at times during the film whether there is more to relationship between brother and sister. There is a great scene when Sissy brings back to the apartment one of Brandon's work colleagues for sex, and upon hearing their pleasure from the bedroom, Brandon exits the apartment very quickly.
As actors go, Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan are at the very top of their game, and continue to show why they are on the wish list of every Casting director in the Movie business. The fact that they are both British makes it all the more sweeter. And both also love making smaller independent films, and are not swayed by the big bucks of Hollywood, and this is so much to their credit.
There are those who may be bored by the film, as one wonders how long you can be entertained by watching lives on screen, people at work, on the subway, and the occasional sex scene. But it is compelling and makes for great viewing, especially watching Fassbender, in one of this best roles to date.
And Director Steve McQueen shows why he is one of the hottest talents not only in Britain but in the whole Film industry.
The best of British at work.......7 out of 10
