Review of 12 Years a Slave (2013) by Geoff L — 22 Jun 2015
This film stayed with me long after I finished watching the last frame run by. The amazing journey of a man enslaved and taken from his family to endure unspeakable torture (mental and physical) and his willingness to never give up and find his way home.
Ejiofor, Fassbender and Nyongo'o are a perfect ensemble cast and McQueen delivers behind the camera in balancing the human story without overdoing it. He puts it out there and allows the viewer to engage. A brilliant piece of directing.
