Amazing acting! Amazing directing! I can't rave enough about this film; it was wonderful.

User review rating: 5 November 07, 2013

Very good movie; entertaining but disturbing. A very depressing true story, but a must-see movie with excellent acting and great cinematography.

User review rating: 4 November 06, 2013

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.

User review rating: 5 November 04, 2013

Heartbreaking and brutal to watch, but a must see based on a true story with amazing acting.

User review rating: 5 November 03, 2013

Michael Fassbender was amazing as always but the main actor was who really blew me away. Just a simple shot of his face gave so much emotion than any dialogue could provide!!

User review rating: 5 November 03, 2013

It was an excellent and very well done movie, but oh so very hard to watch.

an interesting movie

User review rating: 5 November 02, 2013

Amazing film. Flawless acting skills with so much emotions makes you go back to the certain time period. Cinematography was absolutely fantastic. Unforgettable long-take shots with stunning visuals. One of the best films of 2013.

In school I learned that slavery was brutal but until I saw this movie I could have not imagined the savagery that some people are capable of towards other people. An amazingly touching movie about the human condition that made me weep.

Brilliant. Everyone in the theatre was crying at the end - such an amazing story. What a horrible life he had as a slave.

Great movie. Powerful>Difficult to watch at times but riveting

User review rating: 4 October 30, 2013

Great movie!!! However it isn't the fastest paced film ever and wasn't as moving as I heard or though it would be.

User review rating: 5 October 30, 2013

The movie to beat Oscar time. Brilliant

User review rating: 5 October 30, 2013

This movie is a heart wrenching one based on true facts that happened and it is very moving for its time.

User review rating: 5 October 29, 2013

One hell of a great story + that's that.

User review rating: 5 October 29, 2013

This is an extremely powerful film that is brilliantly directed and acted. You are enabled to feel the character's pain and endure his struggle. The ensemble cast all shine brightly. Fassbender is in top form, yet the true stand out is Lupita Nyong'o. Her performance is near perfection and utterly heartbreaking.

User review rating: 5 October 29, 2013

This movie is intense and very vey well done. First movie to discuss slavery from this point of view. While based on a true story, we know these types of situations occurred all to often during that time. This film will bring you to tears as it did to me.

User review rating: 5 October 27, 2013

A GREAT film. This years best picture winner at the Oscars no doubt.

User review rating: 2 October 19, 2013

Not much of a story line. Seen it all before, slaves being whipped and ill treated, women singing in the cotton fields. A money waster, just like "Gravity".
