Sarah Daniels taught in a Lancaster school and developed deep prejudice against minorities, especially blacks. She decided to re-locate to Belmont, Vermont with the hopes that it will be 'all white', and gets hired in Belmont College. She does not disclose her past to anyone, but when an African-American student, Simon Brick, becomes the victim of hate crime, she soon realizes that not only will her past return to haunt her, she will be expected to be the liaison person for the minorities, as well as be asked to prepare a 10-point bullet-ed list to resolve racism.
Leave your thoughts about Spinning Into Butter.
| New York TimesStephen HoldenThis movie adaptation of Rebecca Gilman's play is a methodical, not to say mechanical and plodding, exploration of identity politics and language. |
| Dallas Morning NewsCary DarlingThe biggest lesson from Spinning Into Butter has nothing to do with the ethics of race and more with realizing that every hit play doesn't need to be turned into a movie. |
| DVDTalk.comBrian OrndorfButter makes a disastrous transition to film, aiming to salvage pertinent points on the witch's brew of racism through a filmmaking undertaking perhaps best described as "total clown shoes." |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumA painfully miscast Parker nervously flips her hair and waves her hands, sitcom-style, as a do-gooding dean of students. |
| Washington City PaperTricia OlszewskiCrash was a master class in subtlety compared to Spinning Into Butter. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekPainfully earnest and unrelievedly stilted and cliched, the movie is less a drama than a well-meaning but rather ridiculous diatribe. |
| Washington PostDan KoisThe movie suffers most of all from a feeling of creeping irrelevance, as if it's being delivered well after its sell-by date. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA flawed but needed film about the continuing existence of racism and deep-rooted prejudice exposed on a college campus. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferInitially compelling, but spins into a hodgepodge of contrived scenes, uneven drama and poorly developed, yet provocative issues that simmer for too long without actually coming to a boil. |
| Boxoffice MagazineJohn P. McCarthyCredit goes to playwright Gilman and company for addressing an ugly situation head on. Unfortunately, it's a scenario that lends itself to hot air and that's what the movie blows. |
