Review of M. Butterfly (1993) by Corey B — 18 Jul 2009
As much as I enjoy Cronenberg movies this was was intensely boring and crappy. Should have done a better job at concealing the secret of the spy being a man instead of a woman better. It as like, well he looks like a man trying to sound like.
As good of a actor Jeromy Irons is there isn't much one can do when the audience already figured out the cliffhanger. It's hard to figure out how Cronenberg could have screwed this up, why did he do this film again? Who knows, no wonder its so hard to find, it's a waste of a film.
I expected so much from this movie since last time Cronenberg and Irons worked together they made a masterpiece in Dead Ringers. This is Cronenberg's worst movie.
