Directed by Steve McQueen. Brandon Sullivan (Michael Fassbender) is a handsome professional who works in the city. But he is hiding a dark secret. Brandon is addicted to sex and struggles to form emotional relationships. When his sister (Carey Mulligan) shows up at his apartment out of the blue she reminds him of their traumatic childhood. Brandon's world starts to fall apart and he finds himself caught in a cycle of meaningless sexual encounters. Nudity, sex and strong language throughout.
