This one lacked soul and not sure it had a focus as well. It failed to make me feel anything for its characters, except maybe for the cruel sadistic master.

But a movie talking about the dark times of slavery should focus more on the life of the slaves. Instead of feeling the main hero's agony and troubles I was just horrified by the actions of his awful master.

In any case, it didn't tell us anything more than what we have seen before in much better movies or/and TV series.

It is not a great movie and I can't understand all the hype about it. "Oscar movies" are more mediocre every year...
