Butter reviews

Butter holds a 5.9/10 average from 433 TMDB ratings.

This is not a mass market film. It is quirky and funny, but satires all the little things that many people hold sacred in their little cities and neighbourhoods. If you like films such as Miss Meadows, The Tao of Steve or Being John Malkovich, then this is likely one you will want to watch. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable and often hilarious film.
— MitsuyoWatanabe

An adopted girl discovers her talent for butter carving and finds herself pitted against an ambitious local woman in their Iowa town's annual contest.
