Review of Butter (2012) by Ty Burr for Boston Globe — 03 Oct 2012
Butter dearly wants to be a hot-button social satire that plays rough with sacred cows: Midwestern power-moms, the religious right, race, sex, you name it. Mostly, it wants to be an Alexander Payne movie from the 1990s.
"Citizen Ruth," say, or "Election." Instead, it's a shrill, cartoonish mess.
