Bitch Flicks

Erin Tatum

Although masculine privilege remains unquestioned and racial dynamics will always be a work in progress, the poignancy of the ending does bring a smile to your face.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Don Shanahan

Beyond a few large leaps of over-convenient fictional story weaving, the film is a remarkable and powerful experience that everyone should see.

Even with the film’s ambition and deeply moving moments, “The Butler” still comes across as a big Hollywood piece.

As a history, it’s lacking facts; as a biography, it’s missing personality and truth.
