The final months of Bobby Sands, the Irish Republican Army activist who protested his treatment at the hands of British prison guards with a hunger strike, are chronicled in this historical drama, the first feature film from artist-turned-filmmaker Steve McQueen. Davey Gillen (Brian Milligan) is an IRA volunteer who is sentenced to Belfast's infamous Maze prison, where he shares a cell with fellow IRA member Gerry Campbell (Liam McMahon). Like most of the IRA volunteers behind bars, Gillen and Campbell are subjected to frequent violence by the guards, who in turn live with the constant threat of assassination at the hands of Republicans during their off-hours. Campbell and Gillen are taking part in a protest in which they and their fellow IRA inmates are refusing to wear standard prison-issue uniforms as a protest against Britain's refusal to recognize them as political prisoners, a move that is complicating their efforts to pass information among the other prisoners. As the protest fails to get results, one IRA member behind bars, Bobby Sands (Michael Fassbender), decides to take a different tack and begins a hunger strike, refusing to eat until Irish officials are willing to acknowledge the IRA as a legitimate political organization. However, while Sands' protest gains the attention both inside prison walls and in the international news, not everyone believes what he's doing is right, and Sands finds himself verbally sparring with a priest (Liam Cunningham) who questions the ethics and effectiveness of the strike. Hunger received its world premiere at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival, where it was screened as part of the Un Certain Regard program. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

New Review For Movie Hunger
Midway through the movie there's an epic 24-minute scene...in the claustrophobic cell block the protesters have already internalized their cause so deeply that the world of words seems distant and inconsequential.J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader
It's a strength of this carefully composed, almost obsessively controlled picture that it has no interest in the conventional biographical focus on a subject.
Michael Phillips-Chicago Tribune
Hunger is daunting and powerful work.
Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer
Hunger is not about the rights and wrongs of the British in Northern Ireland, but about inhumane prison conditions, the steeled determination of IRA members like Bobby Sands, and a rock and a hard place.
Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times
Hunger -- the disturbing, provocative, brilliant feature debut from British director Steve McQueen -- does for modern film what Caravaggio did to Renaissance painting.
Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail
Relying on images more than words, it's a plea for humanity in times of insanity.
Peter Howell-Toronto Star
In the desolate surrounds of a prison environment that affronts humanity McQueen finds the redemptive struggles, and unrelenting spirit in the feces smeared walls of a British prison.
Blake Howard-2UE That Movie Show
...simultaneously harsh and gentle; an early shot of a tiny snowflake melting on bloodied knuckles could serve as the movie's logo.
Josh Larsen-LarsenOnFilm
Hunger will leave you feeling emotionally battered and bruised -- yet emerging from the cinema a stronger person for having witnessed such a beautiful and brutal film.
Ben Rawson-Jones-Digital Spy
Not just the toughest film of the year but amongst the toughest ever made.
Garth Franklin-Dark Horizons
Hunger is tough going -- and compelling cinema throughout.
Marshall Fine-Hollywood & Fine
Politically, Bobby Sands' suicide meant nothing, but it illustrated poisonous lengths to which someone would go in protecting the only reality he ever knew. This is terrorism's pox, and why the Troubles - though stabilized - still bear the scars of shame.
Nick Rogers-Suite101.com
As pretentious as it is engrossing...
David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews
Director Steve McQueen delivers one the more memorable debut features of the last several years.
Christopher Long-Movie Metropolis
a film of great visceral directness and emotional power
James Kendrick-Q Network Film Desk
A poetic, almost abstract take on very real, tangible material -- a fitting artistic approach to a surreal, extreme experience most human beings will not have on their own.
Jeffrey Chen-Window to the Movies
... a study in the deterioration of the human body... and the will it takes to endure such self-mortification in the name of cause.
Sean Axmaker-Seanax.com
Spurious transcendence and underlined symbolism
Fernando F. Croce-CinePassion
Yes, "Hunger" is a fairly nasty affair and we don't even get to the starvation part until the third act.
Don R. Lewis-Film Threat
If you're going to make a film about an extremist, it makes sense to tell the story using extreme or at least unusual techniques.
Dan Lybarger-eFilmCritic.com
It's as stubbornly inscrutable as its subjects.
Loey Lockerby-Kansas City Star
"Hunger" pushes through the cliches of both prison films and political films to make something original, powerful and hard to shake.
Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Seriously brutal.
Jeff Vice-Deseret News, Salt Lake City
Steve McQueen's Hunger is a daring, brutal, vital piece of filmmaking.
Brian Tallerico-Movie Retriever
An alternately harrowing and poetic take on the fatal 1982 hunger strike of Irish Republican Army prisoner Bobby Sands, Hunger is also one of the most impressive feature directing debuts in years.
Marc Mohan-Oregonian
