Peaceful Stoner’s review published on Letterboxd:
My God. The effort put into this film is amazing. This is truly violent. Michael Fassbender is growing on me. His dedication to this movie astounded me. It seemed almost impossible. It is on the lines of Christian Bale's performance in The Machinist. Most of this film is like a documentary. But this a must watch. Some scenes would make you wonder whether a camera was put in the 1980's Irish hunger strike. The scenes seem so real and stand as an example for authentic brutality.
After watching this I am HUNGRY for more such films from Steve McQueen. He is doing a magnificent job.
