[edit] Plot
Set on the bleak motorways of Lancashire, Butterfly Kiss tells the story of Eunice (Plummer), a nomadic serial killer, and Miriam (Reeves), a naive and lonely young girl who falls under her spell.
[edit] Reception
Film critic Roger Ebert noted that the use of the names 'Mi' and 'Eu' for characters defined by good and evil suggest two sides of a schizophrenic [sic] personality warring against each other with ultimately tragic results.[1]
Variety called it "An often breathtakingly original meld of road movie, lesbian love story, psychodrama and black comedy".[2]
