More like an artistic than Mystery film

If you think you are artistic, have some sort of profound thinking about philosophy. This movie may be for you.The movie starts out okay with normal life situation although a bit usual about how family accepts a girl who is pregnant by other man to his son's girl friend.I totally do not understand the last part. If the past of the movie make it like ghost like ending, that may be better.To me, the whole movies does not make sense at all. However, if you are into the dialogues and have deep thought about what they are talking about. Maybe you can comprehend what this movie is all about. I basically was looking for some mystery to watch. This movie gives you more question marks than mystery.

Brilliant debut!

Wow! From the brilliant mind of an amazing up-and-coming director, Giving Birth to a Butterfly consistently amazes in a visual and visceral way. Theodore "Ted" Schaefer and Patrick Lawler bring their dark and ominous vision to life: Diana, whose identity has been stolen, bonds with her son's pregnant girlfriend as they travel on a surreal journey to track down the thieves. Annie Parisse is captivating as Diana, while The Mist's Gus Birney plays a delightful turn as Marlene. The always welcome Judith Roberts is sensational as the adrift Nina, and Cesar J. Rosado delivers as Chef. This unique, one-of-a-kind, masterfully shot, edited, and acted film deserves high praise - I look forward to seeing it again!
