My goodness, this movie makes you uncomfortable. It’s extremely dark and takes an unflinching look at slavery. Steve McQueen’s direction is impeccable. Chiwetel Ejiofor is a fking revelation. Micheal Fassbender also gives the best performance of his life. Lupita Nyongo is really good in this movie. I also really enjoyed the small roles of Cumberbatch and Brad Pitt. There are some shots in this movie that are absolutely haunting. This is an excellent film and even though the voting was fucked up, I believe that this was the Best Picture released in 2012. Definitely check this out.
