Waste of time

Really Surprised!

Captivating movie !

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Audience relates to the character, suffer with him, in a story that was reality for so many. Acting is amazing. Cinematography is perfect. Just one of the best films I've ever seen.

Solomon Northup, a free black man from upstate New York, is abducted and sold into slavery. Facing cruelty personified by a malevolent slave owner, as well as unexpected kindnesses, Solomon struggles not only to stay alive, but to retain his dignity. In the twelfth year of his unforgettable odyssey, Solomon's chance meeting with a Canadian abolitionist will forever alter his life. 12 Years of Slave is such a heartbreaking, cruel and just amazing film that elevates from it's excellent direction but also terrific perfomances from talented actors on delivering their evil side. And it's one of those movies where no other film having a story like this could ever get just as close as this. Definitely deserved the wins and nominations it got. (A+)

This is the story of a black men who suffered a lor, and I mean a lot during slavery, The saddest part is that thousands went through this, discrimination divide nations, we all deserve respect. Its a heartbreaking picture, but if you don't know the past you won't fix the future.

Film Review: "12 Years a Slave" (2013)Based on memoirs by actual real-life personality Solomon Northup, living from 1808 to 1863, enduring deception, betrayal, torture of being a slave brought from the State of New York to plantages of the South, where leading actor Chiwetel Ejiofor, here in a fulminate portrayal as slave without a cause, meeting supporting characters, ranging from a gentleman real estate owner "Ford", performed by Benedict Cumberbatch to iron-as-temper losing Edwin Epps, given face to utmost hostility-striking actor Michael Fassbender, who could look back on two hardcore NC-17 rated drama collaborations, "Hunger" (2008) and "Shame" (2011), with to excellence-ascending director Steve McQueen, who navigates "Northup" on his emotional as tragically-struck journey through the "Southern Wild".In its visual conception, as already on the scripted page by screenwriter John Ridley, a just powerhouse of wanting-to-be cinema motion picture, from the very first shot beginnings to slightly over-charged conclusion after the title-given time-span, compressed in a gripping 130-Minute-Cut, as actor Chiwetel Ejiofor is able summon up the state of an human condition in slavery with an one-minute-running close-up in silence in front of a nature green background, when actress Lupita Nyongo acts her heart out of her African roots to win justified an "Academy-Award" for Best supporting actress, when so-honored "Best Picture of 2013" had been backed up and put into motion not only by Brad Pitts production company "Plan B", but also with splendid support by Arnon Milchans "Regency Enterprises" when production value are given by high-end, full-frontal cinematography by Sean Bobbitt and an atmosphere-pitching score by fully-occupied composer Hans Zimmer under lingering Southern environmental sound mix in favor of an sky-reaching cinematic experience.Copyright 2018 Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC
