Solomon Northup ist ein freier Afro-Amerikaner, der in New York als freier Tischler arbeitet. Seine wahre Leidenschaft ist allerdings die Musik, und als zwei vorgebliche Zirkus-Betreiber ihn in Washington DC als Musiker engagieren wollen, wirft er seine Bedenken über Bord. Wenig später findet sich Salomon seiner Identität beraubt in Louisiana wieder, wo er als Sklave arbeiten muss. Sollte er je seinen wahren Namen und seinen Status als freier Mann erwähnen, so sagten sie ihm, werde er sterben. In den folgenden 12 Jahren wechselt er mehrmals den Besitzer, und damit auch oft die Beschäftigung und die Art, wie er behandelt wird. Hoffnung blüht erst auf, als er auf der Plantage von Edwin Epps den weißen Tischler Samuel Bass kennenlernt. Ihm vertraut er eine Nachricht an seine Familie an, welche in New York einen befreundeten Anwalt engagiert, um Solomon nach zwölf Jahren als Sklave endlich zu befreien und nach Hause zu bringen.

    Unflinching, powerful, and essential cinema. Boasting a remarkably solid cast and truly phenomenal performances across the board, 12 Years a Slave easily stands as one of my absolute favorite films. Steve McQueen delivers a masterfully crafted, brilliantly executed adaptation of Solomon Northup's autobiographical book of the same name. If you haven't seen it yet, it is an absolute must watch.

    Incredible performances in an important true story. Visceral and unforgiving. Phenomenal cast. Disgusting history.

    The film is powerful because it presents slavery in a raw and painful way, without embellishment or downplaying. The suffering isn't just physical, but psychological and human, evident in the characters' expressions and their silence before they even speak. Chiwetel Ejiofor's performance is incredibly moving, supported by strong performances, especially from Michael Fassbender and Lupita Nyong'o. The direction is calm yet brutal, sometimes leaving the camera static to force you to confront the pain without escapism. The minimal music enhances the sense of suffering, making it feel real and immediate.

    An amazing look into the past. It is unbelievable how we treated people back then just because of the colour their skin.

    A star studded adaptation of the book of the same name, though the movie is marginally better than most adaptations I'd personally say the book gives a better insight into what Solomon witnessed & suffered. It is brutal and unrelenting in the message it is delivering, there isn't and shouldn't be any apology for that.. The cinematography is epic as is the score (Hans Zimmer). The story is thought provoking to say the least, given that we are coming up to near on 200 years since the events taking place how far has humanity come? If you haven't watched this I strongly recommend especially if you have never suffered any kind of discrimination.

    This movie is not 12 years long. I was greatly disappointed that approximately 105,117 hours of material had been abridged from this version. Despite this, it is a gripping and emotional tale.

    As difficult as this movie was to watch, it must have been even harder to make. Mans ability for cruelty hasn't gone away and films like this help to remind us of it's possible scope.

    A story as ordinary as it is incredible about slavery. Harsh, distressing, compelling… it has everything it needs to succeed
