Claudio Carvalho In England, the psychopath Eunice (Amanda Plummer) takes rides to gas stations seeking out a song and a woman called Judith that would be in love with her in the cashier of convenience stores. When she takes a ride, she usually kills the driver and leaves the car on the next gas station. When Eunice stumbles upon the naive lesbian Miriam (Saskia Reeves), she brings Eunice home to stay with her. But Eunice wants to find Judith and Miriam decides to go with her. Soon she realizes that Eunice is insane and bipolar but she follows her in her crime spree."Butterfly Kiss" is a disturbing but also boring movie directed by Michael Winterbottom. The weird Amanda Plummer is in the top of her career quite immediately after "Pulp Fiction" but the plot is too sick and repetitive. Maybe in 1995 this film could be more attractive, but today it is annoying. My vote is four.Title (Brazil): "O Beijo da Borboleta" ("The Butterfly Kiss")

mmsbk Look, for instance at darkfalz' comments. No , on second thoughts don't bother , the man is deranged, I just looked up his record of comments on other films and I see he is perfectly foaming at the mouth when it comes to depictions of women in anything but vapid model-girl roles. Oh yes, and he appears to think female victims of male violence are somehow to blame for it, merely by being there. I originally saw it as a tortured love story between one deeply damaged, psychotic woman and another who was drawn to her awful power , almost against her will. Perhaps an element of S & M present also. However I see Eu and Mi are interestingly suggested as different personalities of the same person by one reviewer. I'll have to see it again in the light of this comment. I didn't actually think the fact that both were women was particularly significant- not at all meant to be representative of lesbian love or anything like that. In fact the couple could have been a man and a woman or two men, the issue really was the attraction and need the two had for each other. Serious acting and screenplay. The accents didn't bother me, why should they, we hear thick US accents in movies all the time. I never quite understand why some Americans appear to need subtitles for Australian or UK accents

wbs00001 If this film had been about two gay lovers going around murdering women, the feminists would have come out of the woodwork to condemn it. Of course since it's a female murdering males left and right, it's OK with everyone. The NOW harpies denounced "American Psycho" calling it a how-to for killing women. And it had only a fraction of the body count, female-wise. Funny how they overlooked this one. Oh that's right, it's "good" to see men killed by a woman.In any event, it's a total tasteless waste of anyone's time. Perhaps a few man haters (of either gender) will get a charge out of it. Even if you liked "Natural Born Killers" (another slaughter fest of males) you will not likely enjoy this endless, plodding and senseless movie. I can't imagine anyone involved with this disaster would ever use it on his/her resume.

louise kelly One of the most memorable movies I've ever had the fortunate experience of picking up at a video rental store. It exposed me to one of the best actresses of the 20th., and now 21st. Century: Amanda Plummer. My praise of this film does not finish with Ms.Plummer's believable portrayal of this intense, psychotic young woman. Being an ex-patriot (as they say), I could even smell the petrol (gasoline) fumes. I felt as though I were 'Up North'. It's not a pretty picture! It's certainly not one to be missed by any serious film (noir) lover. You might also check out 'Heavenly Creatures' 1994.
