We review 12 Years a Slave – An emotionally harrowing statement on slavery

Director Steve McQueen’s 12 Years a Slave is most definitely not a fun night at the movies. It is a bravely unflinching, emotionally violent glimpse into one of America’s darkest periods. It will leave you feeling haggard and raw. It will shatter your heart with the subtlety of a ball peen hammer. And it is brilliant. Last Updated: January 21, 2014

Steve McQueen is no stranger to getting inside people’s minds and hearts with such emotionally harrowing tales as Hunger and Shame, but it would appear that for his latest effort, he’s gone and scanned my brain as well. Assembling a cast of some of my favourite actors in the biz currently (Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender, Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Dano and more) for this …

Steve McQueen – that’s the young British director not the old actor with a thing for cars – has had two previous collaborations with Michael Fassbender – Hunger and Shame – both of which have arguably been the finest performances of Fassbender’s career.

With Hunger, the 2008 dramatization of IRA member Bobby Sands’ 1981 hunger strike, artist turned filmmaker Steve McQueen (the young black guy, not the old “Bullit” guy), showed us the emotionally harrowing vision of a man denying himself a physical need in the pursuit of an ideal. Now in Shame, McQueen introduces us to the fictional Brandon Sullivan (Michael Fassbender, who …
