I should start by saying I enjoy slow-paced dramas. But I don't remember myself being bored in a movie that much before, everything 12 Years a Slave tries to do is to disgust you from slavery, it's more of an educational movie.

The thing that really disturbed me was they were really forcing you to feel bad; which caused the movie having almost no script at all. You just sit and watch the torment to slaves.

I believe the only reason why this movie won the Best Picture award is because it is bashing racism with it's all strength. It's a good educational production but as a movie, it's quite weak. It's nowhere near movies like The Wolf of Wall Street, Dallas Buyers Club and Her.
