THE BUZZ: While it won't be an easy watch, Chiwetel Ejiofor finally gets a leading role in a project that should artfully exhibit his range as an actor. Steve McQueen reunites with Fox Searchlight, who distributed his last work, Shame, for another brave outing from the writer/director. We're interested to see how McQueen works on a larger scale given the depth of this cast and the period setting.
