BlazeLime Strong and Moving!
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
ShangLuda Admirable film.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
noonward This is a strange British film which revolves around a relationship between two characters that alternates between super sweet and super disturbing (one of them has a penchant for asking people at petrol stations if they've heard a specific love song then kills them afterwards). Love and redemption, like a modern Shakespearean tragedy, courses through the film's veins. The repetitive nature of the narrative coalesces into a hypnotic rhythm, riding the pace out sleekly. Though scripted, the film feels spontaneous, exciting and shows subtle natural variation on a theme. The characters attempt to obtain purification, thinking that murder is the only way they can downplay their other more humanly flaws. Powerful, strong film that is refreshingly modest and practical.
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.
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.
SCHAGELA The thing that first struck me was seeing Amanda Plummer playing in an English movie. A nice surprise. She really has some great acting skills. After seeing Pulp Fiction I automatically assumed she was an American actress. Looking at BK however, gave me the strong idea that she had to be British, speaking with such an explicit Northern English accent.... IMDB learned me that she is American after all. Tops!! Of course her role is a very bizarre one: a man-hating lesbian who seems to kill others at random. She takes Saskia Reeves with her in a negative downstream which finally results in an ending that can't give a good feeling to anyone seeing the movie. In spite of that (after having some doubt) I found that I truly liked this movie. Thanks to those two fabulous playing actresses (I'd never seen Saskia Reeves before but I liked her right away. Not thanks to the story: I never found out what the rue reason was behind all the killings. 7 out of 10.
