Chicago Reader by Dave Kehr

Despite its evident sincerity, the film seems less like an indictment of intellectual and artistic irresponsibility than a quiet mea culpa.

100

Time Out by Derek Adams

It ends with one of the cinema's most awesomely apocalyptic visions: not the cheeriest of films, but a masterpiece.

100

Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert

It is a question without an answer in Shame, which does not deliver a message in any formal way, but simply offers people and their lives and leaves us to conclude what we choose.
