Summary: A first-rate study of borderline personality
Review: I do not agree with the two-star review(er). This is a very good study of a borderline sociopath. Winterbottom is a very good director, IMO, and this movie deserves to be better known. Amanda Plummer is, as always, great. Moving and disturbing.

Summary: sad and disturbing
Review: I had been on the lookout for this movie since it received a thumbs up review an a noted movie review program. It only played in art houses for a short time so I never saw it in the theater. The sad depths that two people can descend to as one clings on to the other is very painfully depicted. This movie will stay with a person for a long time, and that is the mark of a well crafted movie. This was not a high budget film but gets a lot out of each buck, or in this case, pound sterling. Amanda Plummer does a great job and all the more disturbing since you never find out the why that is her basis for searching. If you finish watching the movie and are not a bit unsettled, check your pulse. Not sure the ease of having guns in England is on target, but Amanda (Eunice)seems to readily use hers.

Summary: best twisted love story after "sid & nancy"

Summary: Shame on First Run Features
Review: I saw this movie on Direct T.V. a couple of yesrs ago and made a vhs copy that I still have. The movie itself is very good and quite disturbing and I would rate it four stars. The dvd release by First Run Features is disappointing. The picture is too rich in color and too dark. I compared the copy I made from satalite to the dvd and the satalite copy actually has a brighter film like look to it. There are no sub-titles or closed captioning which which would help us in knowing what is being said. There are no extras to speak of. Maybe 7 or 8 stills and 4 trailers of other movies they want to sell us. There is no way I would recommend this dvd or ever buy anything else from First Run Features

Summary: Ouch and "Huh"?
Review: Let's see, now - this makes how many movies about lesbian couples with violent tendencies? Seems to me they're starting to outnumber films about lesbian couples who nurture or at least exhibit a more normal balance of light and dark attributes. To a point, women may be excited by female characters who do whatever they like. Butterfly Kisses, however, goes far beyond this point. While also disturbing, Heavenly Creatures is superior for its greater success at showing human complexity and for at least being drawn from reality. HC had its brilliant moments - moments that have stayed with me. Amanda Plummer's dead-on acting was my sole reason, along with mild curiosity re: the conclusion, for watching this in its entirety. Otherwise I'd advise against it unless you're turned on by violence and other disturbances.

Summary: One of the only
Review: some books/flics deserve our stars because they offer glimpses--a brief moment of participation-- in an "other" way of living in this world. i read the scribblings of Charles Bukowski for this very reason.

Butterfly Kiss is a serious movie about love. at times frightening, it is a tally of sordid plot, extremely believable characters, and offers a serious chance to view a relationship and things most folks would never care to experience in person. both powerful and disturbing, but very well done. At the close of the movie i remember wanting to see Butterfly Kiss again, tho at the same time unsure that my spirit could handle/endure a

Summary: Cheap shock-value fare.
Review: This movie is kind of like Natural Born Killers except with a feminist agenda. The fact that it has a feminist agenda does not make the characters any more admirable than Mickey or Mallory. And to boot, this movie doesn't even have the decent acting or excellent cinematography that NBK had. For this much money, I'd avoid this movie.
