Excerlent and heartbreaking
Well what can I say about this film, WOW this really is a wonderful film but also very hard to watch with the subject of the story, everyone should watch this film, the acting is wonderful and the direction is done with excerlent talent by Steve McQueen, as I said some parts are difficult to watch but as it's based on a true story it's more important to see this film to understand just what happened to the slaves in the Deep South of America, 5 stars all the way.
