Twelve Years A Slave

[CaliforniaPeggy]

It was so engrossing. I thought the cast did a wonderful job...

I'd heard, of course, just what a downer of a movie it was, and for me, it really wasn't as awful as I'd thought it was going to be. Maybe I was just prepared to see the brutality. I don't know.

One thing I did notice was the continuing undercurrent of fear and stress all throughout. I felt scared for the slaves nearly the whole time.

I did know he would get his freedom back, but I was extremely curious as to just how. It was well done, and very satisfying.

Go see it!

1. Saw it, and agree with your every word Peggy. Great movie, highly recommended.

2. I just tapped "rec" and it disappeared...

I want to see this, but no one but my sister (too far away) is particularly motivated… What's going on here?

3. Not sure what happened, but your "rec" is showing now...

It is a terrific film, pretty dark in places, though not overly much.

I'd rent it and watch it at home so that you can pause and take a break if you need to.

The cast is stellar!
