Pernilla and Patrick, mutually obsessed soul mates clinging to childhood secrets, express their love through sexual games.

Tara Brady

Irish Times

Buttercup Bill is not, despite, initial appearances, headed toward Twin Peaks. It's is, rather, a messed-up, highly erotically-charged two-step.

Rated: 3/5

Little White Lies

This deathly dull southern psychodrama searches for (but doesn't find) something interesting to say.

Rated: 1/5

Times (UK)

[A] woozy, erotic and disturbing Southern indie-gothic concoction.

Rated: 3/5

Ben Nicholson

CineVue

It's a tantalizing piece of slow-burn Southern Gothic that threatens to never get going, but even in its listless moments never relinquished a pervading sense of threat.

Rated: 3/5

David Parkinson

Radio Times

The leads have a potent chemistry, which is reinforced by the tantalising flashbacks and the refusal to embrace linearity or the male gaze.

Rated: 3/5

Electric Sheep

Like the relationship it lays bare, Buttercup Bill is tender, playful, moving and deeply disturbing.

A very hard watch as its painfully slow and a tad on the dull side. I often like something a bit on the quirky side but this one was pretentious nonsense

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Provocative, smouldering and disturbing in equal measures. Found it captivating. Great performances.
