Great movie!

Rating: 9/10 (19 May 2014)

Review 1- I finally got to watch "12 years a slave". I really loved the movie, well directed, but it's kind of sad to think we used to treat other people with that much hate and cruelty! Review 2- When I saw this movie in the theater, I of course had an idea in mind of what to expect. However, coming out of the theater, I was shocked at not only the story, but the power and realism that the actors brought. Everyone in that movie was at the top of their game, and I think this film definitely deserved all of the awards that it won. Definitely watch with caution! There are definitely some brutal scenes involved, as is to be expected.
