Twelve Years A Slave

It was so engrossing. I thought the cast did a wonderful job...

I'd heard, of course, just what a downer of a movie it was, and for me, it really wasn't as awful as I'd thought it was going to be. Maybe I was just prepared to see the brutality. I don't know.

One thing I did notice was the continuing undercurrent of fear and stress all throughout. I felt scared for the slaves nearly the whole time.

I did know he would get his freedom back, but I was extremely curious as to just how. It was well done, and very satisfying.

Go see it!

I want to see this, but no one but my sister (too far away) is particularly motivated… What's going on here?

It is a terrific film, pretty dark in places, though not overly much.

I'd rent it and watch it at home so that you can pause and take a break if you need to.

The cast is stellar!
