Bell's film captures the spectrum of emotions here: Abbie's desire for more as well as her fear, her parents' need to protect her as well as their wish to set her free.

Butterfly Girl is heartbreaking and inspiring. Although hard to watch at times, this film is an incredible coming to age story with a twist.
