Ignore Rotten Tomatoes, Alia Shawkat's Duck Butter Is Well Worth a Viewing

I have tough news, everybody--sometimes Rotten Tomatoes is wrong. It's a shocker, but the review aggregator is an imperfect system rather than a universal beacon of filmic quality. See, for instance, the officially "rotten" Duck Butter, which had its premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival last week and is the latest film from Beatriz at Dinner director Miguel Arteta. The Hollywood Reporter calls the film "surprisingly banal," and Slant Magazine claims it's "difficult to fall in love with." "Duck Butter gets props for its creative story, for its queer women-centered storyline," Bust conceded.
