Review
"Whitaker digs in deep and gives a marvelous under-the-skin performance..."--Variety"Forest Whitaker gives the performance of his career."--Richard Roeper"When compared to something as patronizing and manipulative as "Forrest Gump," Lee Daniels' The Butler" comes off as an earnest crowd-pleaser with history on its side."--Miami Herald"A singularly full-hearted and moving film."--New York Daily News"...a challenging and haunting historical epic. Highly recommended."--Video Librarian
