If ever there was a poignant slave story...this is it.
It makes difficult viewing on several occasions. You turn your eyes away, but the narrative lashes into your sensibilities.
Excellent direction, writing and marvelous acting by Lupita Nyong'o and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
Three Oscars do it credit.
This was my second viewing of this masterpiece and it was as if it were my first.
We Americans are repeatedly reminded about slavery and it's sordid legacy. This movie shoves your face into the entitlement that empowered the white man and woman to pummel all of humanity out of their property.
A powerful film indeed. If a film does more than merely entertain you, then it serves it's purpose. If a film helps you evolve, then it ought to be savored like a good Merlot.
Bravo...
