5.0 out of 5 stars Amanda Plummers performance is stop on awesome, Dec 4 2006

By	AC Wild "AC Wild" (New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Butterfly Kiss (Full Screen) (DVD)

Amanda Plummers performance is spot on awesome

Butterfly Kiss is an extraordinarily unusual romp documenting the mis-adventures of two young ladies, one rather shy but more than willing to submit, the other (Amanda Plummer) a nipple pierced chain laden heroin living on the edge. The film is swimming in fetish, passion, and the travels of two soon to be lovers through the country side. It does become somewhat disturbing whenever a man crosses their path, if youre a man you do not want to run into these two hitch-hiking or at a truck stop however; all in all an interesting look into the human drama.

Amanda Plummer is one of the absolute best actresses out there as her portrayal is completely convincing, just as she is in every role she plays, going as far as having her nipples pierced for the role.

Ultra-right wing conservatives wont care for this one but, if you enjoy low budget non-Hollywood block-buster-special-effects films, spiced with a little S&M, this one is well worth the view.

4.0 out of 5 stars sad and disturbing, Mar 14 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Butterfly Kiss (Full Screen) (DVD)

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Ouch and "Huh"?, Aug 24 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Butterfly Kiss (VHS Tape)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A first-rate study of borderline personality
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... Read more
