The Butterfly

I don’t know if there will be a second season but they sure left it open for one. Guess we’ll see if Amazon thinks it’s cost effective. If they do I hope Hachi grows up.

Leaving the Criterion Channel at the end of October 2024

Still available on YT

Thank you. 😊

I was looking for something lighter, like one town helping another out because they knew what it was like to lose everything. Then to see the friendships forged as they bonded. Or even to see if the broken couple found their way back to each other after nearly 20 years. This was not that film 😔

Was still available on Tubi as of this date.

I watched this on the Criterion Channel (subscription). There are two different endings depending on which version you watch. The international version has an additional kaiju at the end!

Currently on MAX.

I think that’s part of it. So often the abusive parents are often just accepted as the way it is. Or behavior that is abusive is not seen that way.

Been waiting for this to finish, but was concerned with some of the posts I've seen. Thanks for your review. Getting really tired of awful parents.

If you speak Spanish it is on https://archive.org/details/thecalamariwrestler2004dvdripvose. I happened to find a cheap used copy on Amazon.

It was a little rough around the edges like a lot of 80’s films but had a good heart. Tyvm 🦋💕🌸

I really enjoyed his carefree performance. Brace yourself for 1980’s NYC and styles 😄

When I’m not writing reviews I don’t always check out the director so I had some surprises going back through the movies I’d watched. There are a few women directors who have numerous credits but when doing my research many only have one or two. And many of the ones I looked up I couldn’t find their work available anywhere. 😔

My mom always called me the Princess and the Pea because of my sensitive skin. But she said the story didn’t work when I used to clear the scorers’ table off going for a loose basketball during games. 😄

Thank you! 🦋💕

Thank you. I had other thoughts planned out as I was watching but when I started typing something different entirely came out. 😂

I don’t understand dramas that have filler but don’t provide pertinent details about characters.

It’s a co-production and since currently Bhutan is not one of the countries MDL carries and Taiwan was one of the countries of origin it was listed.
