Review of 12 Years a Slave (2013) by Sandy R — 24 Aug 2014
Steve McQueen's visceral, intelligent film is breathtaking in it's raw brutality and is an earnest retelling of slavery in the American south. The simplicity and beauty of the cinematography enhances the film tremendously.
There are a number of extraordinary scenes that highlight the absurdity of slavery. It's a madhouse.
