Review of 12 Years a Slave (2013) by Clare M — 29 Nov 2014
Exceptionally well-cast film with exceptional actors throughout. All awards this film received were definitely well-earned. It's intense and difficult to watch, but that's mainly because of the raw and honest way slavery is portrayed.
Definitely recommend anyone old enough to view the raw violence shown should see thisâ"unfortunately not that long ago the scenes of the film were how life was for some people in this country. It doesn't sugar coat that time with "caring masters" or other ideals that allow one to view that time through rose colored spectacles and pretend human beings were not treated like "things".
