Wendy Ide Screen International Don’t Cry, Butterfly is an energetically confounding mix of genres -- comedy, fantasy and a touch of horror -- but may be too culturally specific in its themes and opaque in its messaging to make much of a mark outside of the festival circuit. Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse “Don’t Cry, Butterfly” has some issues, but I feel they mostly derive from the director’s inexperience in feature filmmaking rather than from lack of skill, and in general, it is easy to describe the movie as a rather hopeful debut.
