12 Years a Slave is what it is. The scenario has a few solid moments, but for the rest, it's just about making us watch how degrading it is to be a slave. The acting is excellent, except for an unremarkable performance by Brad Pitt, and that's what's really keeping our attention, because the story itself is very simple and on the boring side, as many other biography/history based films.
If you're interested in the old american slavery conditions or if you like flicks based on true events.
