Great movie, tough to watch

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2014)

I avoided going to see this movie for a few months but after I heard two reviewers discussing how great it was, I had to go see it. It was a fantastic movie although, as expected, very difficult to watch. One very impressive aspect was the different layers it brought out. Someone was really on top of their game! What an amazing movie effort for all involved.
I think that African-Americans will definitely see this movie in an entirely different context from others. As I watched in the theater I noticed people kept getting up and then returning. I wondered if it was a "nature break" or if some of scenes were a bit too intense. Either way, this movie is not to be missed.
