From start to finish '12 Years a Slave' was engaging and touching. The story Is sad and eye opening which just builds that tension of waiting for a final happy ending for 'Solomon'(Chiwetel Ejiofor). This film is spectacular, the directing is phenomenal and fresh, I don't think I've ever seen a film anything like '12 Years a Slave' before. With the likes of Brad Pitt, Paul Dano and Michael Fassbender the story just feels so real and authentic and results in a interesting story that's well executed into a sad but beautiful film. My only regret with this film is not watching it sooner.

My IMDB score 8/10 Viewed on Blu-ray 2/4/22.
