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.
I felt jerked around by gratuitous torture. got the movie at redbox, at least I wasted itty bitty $$.
