It reminded me of "The Passion Of The Christ" which I went to see with my lady friend. We both wished we hadn't gone to see it because it was too graphic.
12 Years a Slave I saw by myself at home on DVD and I thought it was also too graphic. The story was based on a true story but it's the director who gets to dramatize what may have already been dramatized in the book.
At least it had a happy ending with the man being reunited with his family. No more slave movies for me.
