The Butler

A Black man rises from a traumatic childhood to become a discreet White House butler serving several presidents. As he witnesses decades of political change and the civil rights struggle, tensions grow within his family over how best to confront injustice.

My take

You’ll appreciate this emotional historical drama if you enjoy family stories set against major political change, but Not for you if you prefer subtle storytelling or strict historical accuracy; try Selma or All the Way.
