Brilliant , humbling and brutally honest .

It is not the depiction of physical and mental torture that makes 12 Years a Slave incredible, but by the fine performances that are in it. Slavery is still a modern-world concern, and it shows just how much evil a human being is capable of. If only people can realize that any living soul is worth freeing from oppression.
