Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
The foils have no compunction about hurling ugly truths at each other, most of the time much too literally to work on screen.

The staging by theater director Mark Brokaw, in his first feature, is, well, stagy. I don't mind a movie where people spend a lot of time jawboning, but what they say had better be interesting.

This movie would've been bad in 1983, but at least it would've been original.

It feels like an after school special.

The 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.
