The plot: Brandon is a handsome thirty-something office worker, who is never short of bedfellows.

Little White Lies
"By turns raw, elegant and uncompromising. An assured companion piece to Hunger, if not a significant progression."
Empire
"Brave, beautifully acted and emotionally revealing - an early strong contender for the most provocative and compelling film of the year."
Guardian
"With tremendous performances from Fassbender and Mulligan, and such superb technique from McQueen, this is a horrible inferno."
