We're not bad people. We just come from a bad place.

Shame (2011)

A somewhat compelling but ultimately hollow experience which is perhaps a deliberate mirror of the way the main character feels about sex. However the film is not quite tight enough, the script not quite sharp enough to bring the viewer to care.
The performances help, a great deal, as does the generally wonderful photography and good use of music.
A near miss, but an interesting one.
