Urban drama with plenty of heart

You can't have a butterfly without a caterpillar... This movie introduces us to the life of Butterfly a young woman who works as a stripper. Her husband is a junkie who's addiction caused social services to take their child yet she still cared for him until his death.She ends up on the street, and with no residence, it seems like the chances of getting her son back are grim. She finds temporary employment at a local bar and grill however trouble seems to follow her wherever she goes.Butterfly is a story about the struggle to keep our heads above the water when life just keeps on pulling you under. If you like urban dramas give this one a go, you won't be disappointed.

A Gritty yet Beautiful story.

This indie crime drama about a young mother trying to hold her life together and regain custody of her son is gritty, true to life and beautiful. Melanie Elise is the lead as Butterfly, a young homeless mother navigating poverty, unemployment and crime after losing her son Milo. The filmmakers did a nice job of showing the gritty, seedy, not so pretty side of life in a way that studio filmmakers just don't do these days. The locations also play a big role in this movie and really help to give it that gritty yet beautiful look. I really like some of the choices and use of lighting. Hats off to everyone involved.

A powerful story with a lot of heart

Butterfly is a powerful drama that will really stay with you after the credits roll. It follows the story of a young woman's struggle with poverty, homelessness, employment, and above all, her love for her young son and her never ending quest to legally regain custody of him. The movie has some really powerful and emotional scenes, and it is truly an epic journey. I really liked the soundtrack throughout, there are some really great pieces of music in here. The cinematography was strong as well. The locations in this film were really interesting and it really takes you on a journey all around the city. Well done all around.
