Review For Lee Daniels' The Butler

A high-minded, didactic, but irresistible entertainment ...
David Denby-New Yorker

Forest Whitaker imbues his part with immense dignity and the old-age makeup is effective showcasing Cecil during his later years.
James Berardinelli-ReelViews

Winfrey is good, though, demonstrating yet again that she's an actress and not just a celebrity playing an actress.
Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor

A history lesson in violence and endurance. A sentimental journey. A tribute. Director Daniels and the dedicated cast of The Butler deliver all that.
Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post

The Butler may be a sanctimonious cartoon, but it points to events in the civil rights struggle that were as grotesque and extraordinary as any fiction can invent.
Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail

"The Butler" mixes big issues and big people and real human life with surprising grace.
Tom Long-Detroit News

Sometimes uneven but always sincere, 'Lee Daniels' The Butler' is a dramatic history of civil rights as seen through the eyes of a White House butler who served several presidential administrations.
Linda Cook-Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)

Amusing stunt casting aside, it's riveting to observe how civil rights evolved from inside the Oval Office
Mara Reinstein-Us Weekly

This film is a little melodramatic, seemingly contrived and predictable, but nonetheless can deliver a strong emotional impact.
Mark R. Leeper-Mark Leeper's Reviews

The dramatized arc of one man's long, arduous but finally glorious and transformative journey across time reminds us of just how far America has come.
Neil Pond-American Profile

When the movie focuses on the free-wheeling, irreverent banter among the butlers, or takes us home with Gaines, it gets more interesting.
Margot Harrison-Seven Days

The film's compulsively watchable vibe proves to be short lived...
David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews

Whitaker's ever-observing, ever-expressive eyes tell the tale of how he actively processes, thinks, and feels even if outwardly he may appear as nothing more, as his job requires, than a virtually invisible bystander.
Michael Dequina-TheMovieReport.com

It doesn't have enough confidence in its story without introducing various heavy-handed gimmicks to manipulate audience emotion.
Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com

Good story about a White House butler but too episodic in order to get all Civil Rights events included.
Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com

Daniels certainly flirts with greatness, and even if he doesn't quite get there -- except on occasion -- he's made a very worthy film.
Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

Maudlin claptrap
Louis Proyect-rec.arts.movies.reviews

Oprah Winfrey is great at everything. This is no news flash, but it's as apparent as ever when watching Lee Daniels' The Butler.
Carla Meyer-Sacramento Bee

Sometimes corn is good for you.
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express

Whitaker's steadfast performance as an ordinary man in extraordinary times is what makes 'The Butler' so special.
Lori Hoffman-Atlantic City Weekly

Despite the awkward, narcissistic title and the oddity of seeing John Cusack playing Richard Nixon, Robin Williams as Dwight Eisenhower, Alan Rickman as Ronald Reagan and Jane Fonda as Nancy Reagan, this is a good film.
Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope

A film with its heart very clearly in the right place, and its imagination left behind in a locked root cellar.
Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy

Instead of rolling out historical content like a mighty stream, it only trickles weakly
John A. Nesbit-Old School Reviews

Uninvolving bio-pic about a man who just happened to be around when things happened. Latter day Zelig fails to grip.
Boo Allen-Denton Record Chronicle (TX)
