4.0 out of 5 stars no sap love story: a shocker., November 23, 1998

This review is from: Butterfly Kiss [VHS] (VHS Tape)

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

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

By A Customer

This review is from: Butterfly Kiss [VHS] (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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Shame on First Run Features, July 29, 2002

This review is from: Butterfly Kiss (DVD)

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
