Too disturbing a movie to watch without feeling agitated or heartbroken. The story of Solomon is one of the harsh realities of oppression in 19th century America.

While Chiwetel was brilliant, Lupita (Patsey) stole the show completely as she didn't left any stone unturned to portray the atrocities of a young black girl. The 'soap' scene has to be one of the most cruelest scenes I've ever seen in a cinema.

Michael Fassbender looked as cold as he could for the role and proved to be decent. The story is unique and too important and significant even in modern times so it's really a must watch.

Take a pack of tissues with you though!
