This flick is really harrowing and very unflinching in it's depiction of a prison where people are treated as less than animals. Michael Fassbender gives one of his best performances here.

Is there is a more confident feature debut from a director? Orson Welles comes to mind. McQueen's film is perched on a level of faith I can hardly fathom: he trusts his own ability to pull off the structure he's laid out for himself, and he trusts his audience to know what to do with the time and space he gives them. He also puts into action a crucially important insight: that giving unequal screen time to your characters does not preclude taking an equal interest in each of their stories.

The problem with McQueen is that he doesn't trust the viewers imagination or empathy so he relies heavily on explicit manipulation.

Hunger is an incredibly engrossing and eye-opening film. It is a completely unique experience, the cinematography and acting are top-notch. The way McQueen finds beauty in bleakness is outstanding, from the beating of the prisoners to see if they were hiding anything, the violent shaving and bathing of Bobby Sands and to the assassination of Prison Officer Lohan, but especially the hunger strike segment of the film, it just left me completely speechless, it hit so unbelievably hard. Superb!

A fascinating, gruelling, ugly journey into pain and despair is the most confronting depiction of prison life this side of MIDNIGHT EXPRESS - brilliantly performed by all (highlighted by an astonishingly committed break-out for Fassbender). It's almost tempting to write this off as tragedy porn, until the stunning mid-section break with Fassbender and Cunningham, which could stand on its own as a gripping, powerful meditation on the ethical conundrum of self-flagellating protest. Potent stuff.
