CRITICS OF "The Last King of Scotland"

Projection Booth

Its ultimate effect is that of shallow self-congratulation.

April 05, 2008

Resource

New York Observer

Mr. Whitaker and Mr. McAvoy head a first-rate cast that helps The Last King of Scotland to illuminate one of the many dark chapters in recent African history.

November 29, 2006

Empire Magazine Australasia

Captivating hyper-realism, a taut political thriller, and the performance of the year.

November 07, 2012

Detroit Free Press

A good movie elevated by Whitaker's pitch-perfect performance.

October 13, 2006

Film4

Whitaker pulls off a spectacular thespian coup that has Oscar-winner stamped all over it.

The Last King Of Scotland will no doubt be picking up an armful of gongs come award season, and rightly so; it's not only lovingly shot and acted, but it evolves into one of the best thrillers of recent memory too.

BrandonFibbs.com

Whitaker portrays Amin as funny, vulnerable, tender and enigmatic -- all without ever letting us forget he was a maniacal monster.

February 28, 2008

Resource

Houston Chronicle

See the movie for Whitaker alone: He's possessed by evil and possesses it wholly, rendering the film (and everyone in it) his plaything.

October 13, 2006

Resource

Time Out

Having cut his teeth on documentaries, Kevin Macdonald acts as if a shaky-cam aesthetic alone is enough to fuel dramatic tension.

February 03, 2007

Resource

Orlando Sentinel

If this genius turn by Whitaker (he starred in Bird and The Crying Game) doesn't earn an Oscar nomination, then those little statues will lose what little meaning they have.

November 03, 2006

Time Out

Whitaker's dedicated, nuanced performance is excellent and lifts the film from some unsteady early moments.
