Butter might have been a dark comedy; here, the humor is twisted but the world is bright as can be. Conservatives and liberals alike take a licking, and yet the art of butter carving emerges unscathed.

YeetusMcGeetus 7.00/10.00

An underrated indie film for sure. Really enjoyed the black comedy and the strong cast!

Joel Arnold · NPR 65.00/100.00

Butter thrives on skewering characters whose self-importance isolates them completely from the consequences of their actions. And while the film's perspective is distinctly liberal, providing several thinly veiled criticisms of conservative politicians, nearly everyone (except Destiny) is guilty of something.
