Review of Butter (2012) by Ericrosar — 19 Jul 2017
3 Main points: 1. Truly great performance by the lead little girl, 2. Boring, and 3. condescending tone. The first 2 are self explanatory; the girl was great and there were about two laughs throughout the entire movie.
That leaves the condescending tone with which this movie (Script & Director) decided to belittle everyone but the girl. The whole point of the movie (b/c movies have points) is to show how backwards, simple, and corrupt the "fly-over" states are; and their simpleness is amusing.
If that premise is funny to you, then you probably still won't laugh but at least you won't feel insulted. Discovering this movie in 2017 was a trip. It's a confirmation that Hollywood was pulling these "smug-liberal-lefty" shenanigans in 2012; and released days before the 2012 elections mind you.
I wonder how many people saw this movie, felt insulted (alongside everything else on TV & movies), and then exploded in 2016 giving us this clown of a president. A clown but a well deserved slap in the face.
Toodles.
