Review of 12 Years a Slave (2013) by Apartment64 — 03 Jul 2014
All dramas need a conflict and a resolution (Resolution doesn't have to be final, it can be a setup for a new conflict). After "12 Years a Slave" has set up a conflict, it just is. And the worst part of it is that it actually has no resolution - the ending is a lousy cheat.
It feels like Steve McQueen has forgotten the differences between a drama and a documentary. Shame.
