A brilliant portrayal of one of the darkest times in America

Rating: 9/10 (25 January 2014)

After watching Quentin Tarantino's ''Django Unchained'', I was looking forward to watching this movie, and I did. I gotta say I was not disappointed. We are shown the violence, the brutality and the discrimination suffered by the slaves, as real as it can get (I don't advise you to watch this movie with your kids). The true story of Solomon Northup is portrayed beautifully on the big screen as the story of a man who never lost hope, the story of the people who shared different points of view about racism and slave-ownership, this movie has everything, the only flaw is that it doesn't contain a sense of time, however, it is definitely worth watching and I highly recommend it.
