12 Years a Slave

What a movie.
What an emotional experience.
A visceral experience.
Maybe the best movie I've ever seen.
After winning the Academy Award the movie came back to town.  I am glad I went to the Summitt to see it on a spring-like afternoon.
The horror of chattel slavery is brought to life.
This country has yet to come to terms with its history of slavery.
The theatre was as quiet as any theatre I've been in.
Every American should see this movie.

I definitely want to see it. I like the director's previous films.

When you see it prepare to be overwhelmed by what you see. The movie packs a punch that will never leave you.
