I am a bit baffled by the acclaim and accolades.
The performances are overall commendable, but nothing ground-breaking or worthy of awards. They are a bit over the top that they take away from the realism, honesty and power of the movie.
The movie itself didn't bring anything new to the genre. It sits somewhere in the middle of other slavery movies I've seen before.
It felt as though I was watching a dramatization of a biography rather than feeling the pain of Solomon's experience as well as the truth of that sad chapter in history.
