12 years a Slave (2013) is an extremely well acted and graphically realistic slave movie. The acting in this film is just marvelous, I could not get enough of the fantastic actors portraying their roles beautifully. Chiwatel, Brad Pitt, and Lupita Nyongo, and Michael Fassbender all do marvelously and are so Oscar worthy. I also love how they didn't shy away from being graphic and realistic, because a film like this needs to be graphic and violent in order to portray the realistic quality. They also didn't shy away from showing some sex scenes and some pretty graphic nudity, which once again is very necessary in order to be true to how it really was back in slave times. This movie did go a little bit too slow I think, I do think that a couple of scenes drug on a little bit too much. But that was just a minor issue that I had with it, it was minor because the fantastic acting and the great visuals overshadowed it. Keep in mind that this movie is NOT for the weak stomached people or people that become queezy easily. The script is pretty good too, I was pretty impressed with it. 8/10 for 12 years a slave. Oh and btw happy birthday Brad Pitt!! 😘
