12 years a slave by solomon northup7/7/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() If you've read my review, then you're aware that I'm more lukewarm on the 12 Years a Slave film than many other critics and moviegoers - many of whom have proclaimed that McQueen's adaptation is a masterpiece (or, if not quite that perfect, the next best thing). The film is based on the memoir written by Solomon Northup, which reveals what happened after Solomon (played by Chiwetel Ejiofor) - a free black man living in New York in pre-Civil War America - was kidnapped and sold into slavery, before he was able to regain his freedom more than a decade later. There's no doubt that Oscar nominations (and possibly some wins) lie ahead for director Steven McQueen's acclaimed drama, 12 Years a Slave. ![]()
