What The Last King of Scotland Is About
Kevin Macdonald's 2006 film follows a young Scottish doctor who goes to Uganda. He becomes Idi Amin's personal physician. Closeness turns into a trap. The film does not avoid making the dictator appealing; the narrative builds that appeal as the very source of the danger. Forest Whitaker won the Academy Award for best actor. The doctor is invented, Amin real. It is adapted from a novel. Who it's for: those who like political thrillers and character drama. Who it's not for: viewers who cannot take violent scenes of torture; these are explicit towards the close.
