Review of 12 Years a Slave (2013) by Vincent Mancini for FilmDrunk — 17 Oct 2013
There's a difference between an "unflinching" look at something and an unflinching look at a person desperately trying to project "unflinching." 12 Years is often upsetting for all the wrong reasons.
It relegates atrocities to the level of camera tricks.
