A Review Of "12 Years A Slave (2013)"

Rating: 10/10 (27 January 2014)

This powerful film measures up to Alex Hailey's "roots" and then some! More gruesome whippings than "glory"! If you are not careful, you could Easily forget that this is a movie about a time of injustice long Passed to persons of color! The acting in this movie is so real that the onlookers finds him or herself, being transported back to the time when the North and The South were divided on the subject of the legality of the African Slave Trade. Nothing has moved me quite so on this topic Matter of slavery, since the movie "mississippi burning", but i will Give this film 5 of 5 stars, simply because in a word ... "12 years a Slave" is flawlessly epic and deserves best picture and Steve Mcqueen Easily earns best director, in my opinion! Watch it and weep!
