One of the best films I have ever seen.

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2014)

There are many, many things I could say to praise this film, here is just a few. Steve McQueen has engineered a masterpiece with moments of pure horror, acted with such conviction the true story comes to life as if you were standing there next to them. There are times where McQueen deliberately prolongs the scenes of daydream to such an extent you truly feel the stories pain. This film is definitely one to watch, I would not be surprised if it won a golden globe for best film. I would also not be surprised if Chiwetel Ejiofor won a golden globe for best actor & Michael Fassbender won a golden globe for best supporting actor. A stellar casting matched with a truly unbelievable story, ultimately resulting in the best film I have ever seen. Well, maybe on par with the Shawshank Redemption & Gladiator
