Heartbreaking, powerful, phenomenal....Oscar material for sure

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2014)

What a powerful and haunting movie. Very hard to watch at times but so well done and well acted that its hard not to be moved by this very heartbreaking story. Compared to last years Django Unchained, this slavery story doesn't make you smile or laugh, this is not a feel good movie. Chiwetel Ejiofor gives one of the most powerful performances I've seen in a long time. Even Michael Fassbender does a great job creating a character that you will hate. Hans Zimmer provides a haunting score to a haunting movie. This is a very sad reminder of a very sad time for this country. A time that in my opinion was never made up for by this country. Brad Pitt's role while small is just amazing and one of my favorite times seeing him on screen. He is playing much more interesting characters as he's aging. Its been a long time since a movie brought tears to my eyes, this movie will bring you tears
