Hunger (2008)

McQueen and Fassbender's skill in this debut is bewildering. One of the strongest biographical dramas I've ever seen, and worth seeing for the 17-minute take alone. Unreal transformation with Mike.

Hunger (2008)

McQueen's first film ... an impressive start. Disturbing--particularly when you think this all happened in our lifetime.
