Review For Lee Daniels' The Butler
Sometimes it's too didactic or sentimental. But unlike Daniels's previous pictures, Precious and The Paperboy, it doesn't pretend to audacious storytelling.Stephanie Zacharek-Village Voice
Full of truth that's ultimately diluted by a lack of focus.
Henry Cabot Beck-Film.com
Daniels and company may not have made a masterpiece, but they have made a film you should see.
Jocelyn Noveck-Associated Press
Even with all contrivances and obvious point-making and familiar historical signposting, Daniels' The Butler is always engaging, often entertaining and certainly never dull.
Todd McCarthy-Hollywood Reporter
You can object to the thuggish direction and the script that's a series of signposts, but not the central idea, which is genuinely illuminating.
David Edelstein-New York Magazine
A star-filled, if heavy-handed, labor of love that certainly has its heart in the right place, and scores dramatically often enough to recommend it.
Lou Lumenick-New York Post
The clichés come fast and furious in "Lee Daniels' The Butler," as numerous as the amount of times the viewer is reminded this is Serious Oscar Fare™.
Dustin Putman-DustinPutman.com
Not just a great history lesson but also a fine character study of a man who witnessed the entire Civil Rights movement through his job as a Butler in the White House. The acting is superb right down the line.
Pete Hammond-Movieline
Ambitious, sometimes moving, but choppy and uneven. A film as clunky as its mediated title.
Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service
With a characteristically strong performance from Forest Whitaker and a nicely crafted script from Danny Strong, it serves up a nice slice of historical drama.
Mike Scott-Times-Picayune
Whitaker is so good in this film though that you sometimes forget about its messy gallop through history.
Kirk Honeycutt-honeycuttshollywood.com
There's a lot of silliness in The Butler, and a lot of self-congratulatory self-seriousness, but put them together, and the whole thing somehow holds together.
Will Leitch-Deadspin
Schmaltzy, even corny - but it also gives a face to issues that continue to haunt us..pulls you into its drama and gives you a new angle on a history you thought you knew.
Marshall Fine-Hollywood & Fine
Audience-pandering History Lite. Whitaker is dazzling, but Daniels' self-congratulatory film spoon-feeds us a civil rights lesson without adding nuance to the conversation.
Caryn James-James on screenS
Lee Daniels' The Butler is the type of film that will likely please viewers who feel that they're doing their civic duty by learning about history and experiencing the trauma of the civil rights movement.
Kimber Myers-The Playlist
Kudos to Lee Daniels for crafting such a gut-wrenching tour de force which never hits a false note while chronicling critical moments in the African-American fight for equality.
Kam Williams-AALBC.com
With the film, Lee Daniels quietly pushes his talent for hashing out visceral, violent emotions into unexpected dramatic terrain.
Chris Cabin-Slant Magazine
Ambitious and affecting, it's a challenging, haunting, historical epic, hoping to follow the success of the similar, late-summer 2011 release 'The Help.'
Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate
No matter how you look at it, there's no question this one delivers a strong punch to the gut.
