Thought it was a great movie with some really good performances. Surprised by some of the negative movie critic reviews - definitely had an impact.

Pretty weak as butler movies go.

Important History Relived. Great acting. So many important messages.

User review rating: 5 August 19, 2013

A life-affirming and healing message that plays like an opus to the American dream. Entertaining and moving. The first real Oscar contender of 2013.

An excellent portrayal of the times. The acting by everyone involved was outstanding! I remember watching many newscasts at the time and being horrified.

Powerful movie that manages to be entertaining as well. Oprah and Forrest are stunning, they really become their characters. I learned some, I remembered much ... we walked away speaking again of those times when change was made to happen.

Oprah gives the worst performance of the year, and the movie itself is a big snooze.

Best performance by a male actor this year so far. Forest may be adding another Oscar to his trophy case. Look for Oprah to get an Oscar nod as well.

Gr8 movie ... I cried my way thru the entire movie. An Oscar contender for sure.

The story is good and compelling, of course, but some truly great performances are the highlight of this movie. Oprah blew me away - really. Forest Whitaker, Cuba Gooding Jr and Terence Howard were excellent. Alan Rickman (severus Snape) played Ronald Reagan so on target and even Jane Fonda (Nncy Reagan) stood out. The actors were digging deep. Any sweeping historical drama can't include everything so I won't quibble about the parts I would have liked covered more. Lee Daniels chose his history through the lens of which presidencies had the most impact on blacks and that's fair. It is worth seeing and I liked the big screen myself.

Excellent movie. A great history lesson on how brutal whites were towards black people. Forrest Whitaker once again proves he is a top actor in Hollywood.

User review rating: 4 August 16, 2013

Just saw it, and I'm still gathering my thoughts. Incredible cast all through but Oprah and Forrest ares truly outstanding. So much history was covered that I forgot time. I'm so glad we're not where we were when it started, but we have a long way to go still. At least there are many of us white folk who want equality for everyone. Beautifully and thoroughly told with a great script. Enjoy!
