12 YEARS A SLAVE
by Michael Hayward
So, obviously it's been hugely successful and highly lauded with Oscar nominations aplenty, so I expected good things. For the most part it delivered. A moving tale which has been well acted at all levels and with some intricate little character background and sidestories. Some of the time it bordered on being a little bit predictable, it almost makes a caricature of some of the main protagonists and it's not groundbreaking or new. We've seen this stuff before. It's a good film but not worthy of it's lofty esteem imho. A decent cast (Fassbender as with most McQueen stuff) but it didn't grab me as much as I'd hoped so I'd score it a solid 7.5/10.
