Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Ehirerapp Waste of time
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Sindre Kaspersen English screenwriter, producer and director Michael Winterbottom's feature film debut which was written by English author and screenwriter Frank Cottrell Boyce, premiered In competition at the 45th Berlin International Film Festival in 1995, was shot on locations in England and is a UK production which was produced by British producer Julie Baines. It tells the story about a jovial woman in her mid-20s named Miriam who lives with her grandmother and works at a petrol station. Miriam's life is rather quiet, but the day she meets a mysterious woman named Eunice who shows up out of nowhere looking for a woman named Judith and trying to remember a song, she experiences love at first sight.Distinctly and finely directed by UK filmmaker Michael Winterbottom, this finely tuned fictional tale which is narrated by Saskia Reeves and from the two main characters viewpoints, draws an unorthodox and instantly intriguing portrayal of a rare lesbian relationship between two contrary women. While notable for it's naturalistic milieu depictions, sterling cinematography by Northern Irish cinematographer Seamus McGarvey, distinct dialog, chemistry between the actresses and excellent use of music and colors, this character-driven indie neo-noir from the mid-1990s about entwined personalities and the distinction between good and evil contains a great score by English composer John Harle.This darkly humorous, charming, atmospheric and somewhat enigmatic psychological thriller-drama which is set during a summer in Northern England and which becomes a voyage where a love-struck woman's altruistic intentions leads her into the aimless path of a schizophrenic serial killer who is completely out of touch with her spirituality, is impelled and reinforced by it's cogent flash forward narrative structure, substantial character development, existentialistic undertones and the extraordinary acting performances by American-Canadian actress Amanda Plummer and English actress Saskia Reeves. A lyrical road-movie, heartrending love-story and commendable directorial debut.
eyerishroses This movie was great. I had to watch it twice, to make sure I got it all. It would be a great show to watch if you're in a phsycology class in college. I think the movie should be watched in education class. Amanda Plummer did a great performance. There are real people out there actually doing and thinking exactly what she did in the show. There are moments in the movie that seem as if this was a true story. If it is, I would like to know so I can read up on it. The title should be different. I can not think of one, but butterfly kiss just does not fit. My personal opinion is Amanda should get an award.
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.
Philacas ***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** Contains spoilersI wonder why this film was made. I wonder why anyone who readthe script would have wanted to do this.The film, despite what would appear to be an attempt to delve intothe world of mental illness, is, in fact, just nasty. It also leaves a lotof loose ends, that make the viewer curious (curious in the sameway that one looks at a road accident) about what happens to thepeople that Eunice appears not to kill.SPOILERBy the time that M drowns Eunice (at her own request) at the end ofthe film, I was wondering why the drowning hadn't happenedsooner and wishing that it had. Miss Plummer's performance is anexercise in the 'twitch' school of acting and one that plumbs thedepths of bad taste.The only good thing about this ugly piece of self indulgent rubbishwas the soundtrack.
