Video: 55

'The Butler' Blu-ray delivers solid clarity and vibrant colors, yet struggles with uneven video quality, over-saturation, and varied details, reflecting a potentially intentional but inconsistent visual style.

Audio: 70

The Butler's DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track excels with clear, balanced orchestral scores, immersive environmental sounds, and consistent dialogue, despite a few less dynamic scenes.

Extra: 31

'Lee Daniels' The Butler' extras include a 22-min behind-the-scenes doc, 21-min of deleted scenes, a 4-min featurette on the Freedom Riders, a music video by Gladys Knight and Lenny Kravitz, and a surprisingly good 5-min gag reel, all in HD.

Movie: 51

'The Butler' offers an uneven but enlightening story of service and racism, marred by historical inaccuracies and mixed portrayals, yet shines in performances and poignant moments.
