very well done...makes you really uncomfortable...fitting
A definite contender for best film!!!
Amazing acting! Amazing directing! I can't rave enough about this film; it was wonderful.
Very good movie; entertaining but disturbing. A very depressing true story, but a must-see movie with excellent acting and great cinematography.
The movie is based on a true story. Very emotional and hard-hitting
Excellent movie, some scenes are hard to take but are an integral part of the story.
Great movie!!
I watched the advance screening of the movie and the story of Solomon Northup still remains with me. At times very brutal and tragic, with some wonderful cinematography thrown in so you feel like you're in the South, the movie does ultimately have a 'happy ending'. I left the movie with so many conflicting emotions, and it's a testament to how well the story was portrayed that it still remains with me. A must watch movie and highly recommended.
One of the best movies I have seen in years! The acting, directing, and writing were fantasic! Highly recommended!
