200 years and still crying, but crying masterfully.

Rating: 9/10 (5 April 2014)

Steve McQueen is one of my all time favourite directors, with his other feature films "Hunger" and "Shame" also being some of my favourite movies of all time. With all this said I went into this movie with high hopes that this would blow Shame and Hunger out of the water.
After coming out of the theatre I felt like I got what I payed for and so much more. The acting is superb, the screenplay is excellent and the score almost acts as a characters its self.
The only complaint I have about this film is that it really tried to cram the 'feel sorry for what your ancestors did' routine down your throat. Hence why in my summary I said "200 years and still crying"
