What critics compared Brick Lane to
This sophomore film from cowriter (with Abi Morgan ("Brick Lane")/director Steve McQueen ("Hunger"), shows the British artist has a predilection for extremes (the IRA hunger strikes of his first film, sexual addiction and abuse here), the Irish/German actor Fassbender and exquisite visuals.
The dialogue in that exchange, credited to McQueen and Irish playwright Enda Walsh, was sharper than anything in Shame, which was scripted by the director and Abi Morgan (Brick Lane, The Iron Lady).
