Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The power of McQueen's movie is in its declaratory style: This happened. That is all, and that is everything.

fresh:
Every scene of 12 Years a Slave, and almost every shot, conveys some penetrating truth about America's original sin.
– Chris Vognar,

fresh:
So overpowering is this film's simple, horrible, and almost entirely true story that it's hard to get enough distance on 12 Years a Slave to poke at its inner workings.
– Dana Stevens,

fresh:
The cumulative emotional effect is devastating: the final scenes are as angry, as memorable, as overwhelming as anything modern cinema has to offer.
– Tom Huddleston,

fresh:
It speaks to the courage and resilience of one man, the savagery of many, and the potential, for both good and for ill, in us all.
