Review of The Butler (2013) by Paul W — 20 Mar 2014
Great acting from Forest Whitaker per usual, but I found the narrative rather uneven. Certain aspects of the film seemed pretentious IMO (especially in casting the presidents - no matter how much I love John Cusack - Lee Daniels wanted famous men in the roles just because).
Overall a good, interesting film but not a great one.
