From all the hype I was expecting fare truly disgusting.
Train wreck sister moves in temporarily with her highly successful brother in Manhattan. She cramps his routine of meaningless sex, Internet porn, hookers, skin magazines, dirty videos, etc ... Both leads (Fassbender and Mulligan) could be termed easy on the eyes.
Bleak and depressing.
You would think someone could create characters who had a lusty appreciation of magazines and videos.
Rewatched this movie a week or so ago...
Good direction, loved the tone and vibe and all that. Some things felt forced, like that one friend who was like also his boss. Really great potential, could have used a rewrite before filming.
