Well, the reviews are true. The Best Picture frontrunner is an extremely raw deep dive into the business and psychopathology of the American slavery system and without question, full of many powerful moments, sober beauty and horrific realities of what was a part of history we cannot avoid.
It's a tough one to watch but a brilliant film unquestionably deserving of the acclaim it has received thus far. You can find the trailer for "12 Years a Slave" here.
