Extremely powerful movie about the Northern Ireland conflict.

Every single scene is a punch to the stomach amazingly filmed that leaves you thinking.

So disturbing and brutal yet so powerfully beautiful.

In Michael Fassbender's performance we can feel the dedication that he putted in his role, so intense and so powerful. Michael Fassbender you are amazing!

The way Hunger is shooted is so great turning the storytelling of the events even more darker and intense.

Steve McQueen made a stunning piece of art.

Beautifully shot and very brutal. Can be very hard to watch at times. Michael Fassbender is fantastic. The 17 minute shot was amazing. I can't believe they got that in only 4 takes. Steve McQueen knocking it out of the park on his first movie.

Brutal and intense. Made me want to learn more about The Troubles of which I know woefully little.

Raw, dirty and violent, the film sheds light on the situation of IRA members in 1981 mercilessly. A plan sequence of more than 10 minutes emphasizes the performance above the average of Fassbender.

It wasn't a great film, but not bad, and didn't quite get my appetite. It could of had more energy to it, but good performance from Michael Fassbender as always.

Interesting theme, interesting portraying of this theme, but maybe more appropriate for a short as many passages were repetitive or predictable.

I’m clearly in the minority on this one but it really wasn’t my type of movie.

Tries to be moody instead of actually telling a story. It came across as very slow and confusing at the start. When the guy glumly
smoked a fag in snow for a few minutes, in yet another non speaking scene, I kind of knew what I was in for. Not my cup of tea.
