Review of Butterfly Kisses (2017) by Michael%20 P — 14 Feb 2017
Butterfly Kisses is a bold piece of film-making that will probably struggle for life out side of the festival circuit, but debut director, Rafael Kapelinski and first time writer Greer Taylor Ellison should be applauded for their bravery when tackling such a dark subject.
Butterfly Kisses doesn't judge or force sympathy onto Jake it's protagonist, a 16-year-old peadophile who is fighting his dark urges in a world saturated in internet porn and pressures to lose virginity.
It presents a different view on the subject of predator that raises many interesting thoughts that make us think as a society. All movements and new points of view start in the arts and this, I think, will be the beginning of something new.
A future cult classic that will get better with time. The film has a low budget and flaws but these are film makers that will become household names on the world stage of art-house cinema. 5*.
