12 Years A Slave...The Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (13 January 2014)

'12 years a slave' was an amazing, gripping, and emotional drama, with a potent script and powerhouse performances from every single actor in the movie. It's horrifying how that actually happened, and the way it was brought to life by Steve McQueen was brutal and harsh, but had moments of beauty in it also. Certainly a film that will stand the test of time. A masterpiece? Most definitely, and if the film downs receive the best actor Oscar, best director Oscar and best supporting actor Oscar I will be hugely shocked. Even the soundtrack added beauty to the film, Hans Zimmer has done it yet again! I said about American Hustle that it would be hard for a film to beat that this year, but 12 years a slave just has, and I think it will be regarded as film of the year amongst many. Absolutely mesmerizing! I recommend it to everyone, it truly is an emotional journey. Worth every penny of the cinema ticket. WOW.
