Realistically as much as people don't want to talk about it, I think it comes down to what religious belief system you have as to whether or
not you would support the film etc. I'm not going to go into specifics here though, because I don't really want to have a religious argument on here. But I agree with Oleg Max here that both of them should be carefully reviewed. Also I agree with tawdryhepburn that people are allowed to make up their own minds as to what they want to watch. I realize that I'm going to possibly cop some flack for saying this, but the subject matter of SHAME is too close to home personally for me to watch it. Having said that, I'm not going to force people not to watch it... but I do think that sometimes something that graphic and explicit may not be all that beneficial to take in.

both should be carefully reviewed. Dec 01, 12:34
I donno, maybe becuase THE AUDIENCE WANTS SEX AND VIOLENCE and it's a business. So that's what they get. Dec 01, 13:38
If someone wants sex/nudity... Dec 02, 06:18
I can't watch Mulligan movies...she looks too much like the only ex-girlfriend who matters. {nm} Dec 02, 10:13
Just my opinion, but strike one against the MPAA is that they are so secretive Dec 01, 14:07

Why is sex or nudity unsuitable? Your premise is absurd and self loathing. Your body isn't sinful! {nm} Dec 01, 13:35

Like SHAME would make anything at a Cinemark anyway... {nm} Dec 01, 14:31
Marcus and Carmike Cinemas also refuse to book the film because of the rating. I talked to reps from both this week. {nm} Dec 01, 14:41
