12 Years a Slave

"This was very hard for me to watch and left me with a sorrow feeling. Great film though and highly recommend! #drama #history "

"This movie really touched me and its so much i can say but i rather not even speak on it. If you care anything about the human race you should watch"

"Very heavily emotional film.I really am just speechless after watching this. It’s a movie about how cruel people are. It’s a very cruel film. Every emotional moment hits harder because of that. "

"The greatest film depiction of slavery we have."

"Snooze fest 💤. Very boring "

"This is a powerful film that tells an important story, but it's disheartening to see slave narratives dominate black American representation in cinema. While the plot is gripping and well-executed, I can't help but feel burnt out by the repetition of this narrative. Nonetheless, the movie sheds light on a painful chapter in history, and the performances are undeniably compelling. It's a bittersweet reminder that there's so much more to tell about black American experiences beyond the confines of oppression. "

"Very real portrayal of what AA went through and even though it isn't come close to everything that happened to them, it's enough for you to understand how much pain and misery they endured. As much as a lot of you don't want to believe it, a lot of these people are still alive. The people who went through this and the people who did it to them."

"Phenomenal"

"Was a good story but I couldn't get all the way through it, very intense and sickening☹"

"As painful as this film might be, I urge you to revisit it. We are far from finished washing the stench of this sin from our American skin. Others might be hellbent on rewriting the story, but after spending some time with this film, I find myself just as determined to stand in their way. "
