A powerful film with a heavy atmosphere, brilliantly directed by Steve McQueen. This poignant story that brought me to tears is very sober and quality and shows the effort and painful sequence. The director creates a mural of this person by always placing the camera where it is needed, even if it means leaving a certain length of space. The achievement is great. Solomon Northup had 12 years of absolute hell, brilliantly played by Chiwetel Ejiofor. His performance is dazzling. All the actors are perfect in their characters. (…) Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o and Alfred Woodard are amazing. (…) This harrowing, honest and powerful work is as much a descent into hell as a rise to power, as it is McQueen’s (II) rise among the very fine directors to follow.“

The casting is impressive: Chiwetel Ejiofor is very good as Monis Solomon Northup, but my hat goes to the more supporting roles; In fact, Michael Fassbender is flawless as usual and Lupita Nyong’o was the undeniable female revelation of 2013.

After many supporting roles, Chiwetel Ejiofor finally lands his big role and is surrounded by a very rich cast with Michael Fassbender, Benedict Cumberbatch, Lupita Nyong’o, Paul Dano, Brad Pitt and more. The actors are all really great. I really liked Steve McQueen’s lovely direction and long sequences of shots, as well as the great Hans Zimmer’s music, which gives a lot of emotion. There are a lot of Oscars waiting for this movie.”

Finally, Selingues for GThis movie is really a favorite and a great punch. Based on a true story; The British director offers a harsh and violent depiction of slavery.
