The New York Times writes that 12 Years a Slave stands out from the many movies about slavery because of its accuracy. The movie draws you in from the beginning as the main character, Solomen, has his freedom snatched from him and taken into slavery. They say the director constantly moves the film forward, so the audience does not get caught up in too many emotions; your attention is on Solomen and what is happening at that moment. They also tell us that Solomen's story provides a great "double perspective" because he was once a free man and a slave.
