Review of 12 Years a Slave

This! This was amazing and definitely Chiwetel Ejiofer's best performance. Too bad he didn't get the Oscar. However this film did get the Oscar for best picture so that says something. Also Lupita Nyong'o who before this was an unknown does really well and it shows as she got an Oscar as well.

Quvenzhane Wallis was in this, but I didn't even notice at the time I watched it because her role was so miniscule. Brad Pitt plays a small role in this just like he did with The Counselor, but he made a better choice being involved in this one.

Michael Fassbender plays antagonistic to the T. He is remarkable when he plays villainous characters and redeems himself after also being involved in the snorefest The Counselor.

Paul Dano and Paul Giamatti just play asshole racists that have no good qualities about them. Ruth Negga shows up in a minor role which I only mention for myself since I love Ethiopians and specifically enjoy her presence albeit her role being so miniscule.

Benedict Cumberbatch sticks to being a villain as usual and he just plays antagonistic so well. He's just so good at playing bad. The acting is just remarkable! The musical score is really great especially the part where Chiwetel Ejiofer begins singing in a really well filmed scene. The ending was beautiful.

I really enjoyed this as well as many people in the world did. It's a movie I am sure will be recommended for many decades to come. So let's keep pushing it towards the ones who have yet to see it. Put down the laptop or turn off the monitor and watch this already.
