THE BUZZ: Like Drive before it, Steve McQueen's follow-up to Hunger has earned the strongest reviews of the year from the festival circuit, though this NC-17 foray into the world of sex addiction will be harder to market than an almost-mute Ryan Gosling action movie. Michael Fassbender, looking hollow but heaps more robust than his career launching performance in Hunger, will earn most of the headlines for his endowment, which is often on display, but the true focus should be on McQueen's artful, purposeful, and uncompromising direction. Okay, really I can't wait to see Fassbender naked.
