Django Unchained or 12 Years a Slave

[Torie]

Partner Dan loved 12 Years a Slave. I didn't. I found the writing pedestrian, the depth of the characters wanting (too one-dimensional - particularly the unremittingly evil white characters, other than the one in a cameo role who appeared at the beginning and end), the interaction between the blacks limited. The sets were great however, and given that it is a true story, in that sense it is amazing, and shocking.

I have not seen the other film.
