Review For The Last King of Scotland

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

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.
Andrew Sarris-New York Observer

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.
Roger Moore-Orlando Sentinel

Whitaker's dedicated, nuanced performance is excellent and lifts the film from some unsteady early moments.
Dave Calhoun-Time Out

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

A good movie elevated by Whitaker's pitch-perfect performance.
Terry Lawson-Detroit Free Press

Captivating hyper-realism, a taut political thriller, and the performance of the year.
Luke Goodsell-Empire Magazine Australasia

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.
Ali Gray-TheShiznit.co.uk

Pit stop for white liberal guilt and neocolonial pillaging
Fernando F. Croce-CinePassion

Whitaker pulls off a spectacular thespian coup that has Oscar-winner stamped all over it.
Jamie Russell-Film4

Its ultimate effect is that of shallow self-congratulation.
Rob Humanick-Projection Booth

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

Dragan Antulov-Index.hr

it's Whitaker that kept the film alive when everyone was handing him Best Actor statuettes
Kevin Carr-7M Pictures

...Whitaker's superb work remains the highlight of an otherwise routine effort.
David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews

Historical fantasy rules in Hollywood's Africa.
Prairie Miller-WBAI Web Radio

It's a deconstruction of Idi Amin's persona, played with such dedication by Whitaker the surrounding narrative feels without purpose.
Mark Palermo-Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia)

There is surprise in Whitaker's step, with a curtain of menace running beneath it. His is one of the fiercest, least predictable performances of 2006, so fully on edge that he becomes the movie's edge.
Christopher Smith-Bangor Daily News (Maine)

The four highly diverse leads are uniformly excellent.
Frank Lovece-Film Journal International

Whitaker brings us close to Amin, yet he never allows us to actually become comfortable around the man. His Amin is capricious and unpredictable, a personality that can seem volcanic one moment and vulnerable a few minutes later.
James Sanford-Kalamazoo Gazette

La película vale la pena sobre todo por la imponente actuación de Forest Whitaker, igualmente encantador o amenazante en la piel de uno de los dictadores más sanguinarios de África.
Enrique Buchichio-Uruguay Total

Two terrific performances cap this interesting historical perspective on ruthless dictator Idi Amin.
Wesley Lovell-Cinema Sight

Whitaker's incendiary and incandescent performance dominates this movie as much as Helen Mirren's performance defines The Queen.
Lori Hoffman-Atlantic City Weekly

Exalando um carisma mais do que apropriado ao personagem, [Forest Whitaker] busca seduzir não apenas Nicholas, mas também o espectador.
Pablo Villaca-Cinema em Cena

Whitaker's riveting and deserved Oscar-nominated performance pretty much dominates -- almost to the point of overpowering -- this fictionalized drama, based on Giles Foden's novel.
Jeff Vice-Deseret News, Salt Lake City
