12 Years a Slave
★★★★
Director: Steve McQueen
Year: 2013
This is one of the most original stories I had read/scene and it’s even more surprising (although not so much) that it’s true. The horrendous story of a free man kidnapped and then sold into slavery. It reminds me of The Vanishing, just how quickly someone can disappear and go missing. Definitely worth watching, but quite painful at that. An incredible performance.
