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 Paul Emmanuel Enicola The Movie Buff It’s an acquired taste, sure. But “Don’t Cry, Butterfly” is an ambitious film, rich with visual symbolism and steeped in cultural context. Rated: B Nov 15, 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. Rated: 6 Sep 9, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
