Movie Reviews of Butterflies Are Free

Movie Review: Goldie's finest film?
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie ranks high among my favorites of all time. I saw it as a kid on television, and then later on VHS. I'm so happy that is now available on DVD.

Goldie is so adorable and beautiful in this film. She has this wide-eyed innocence about her which few other actresses possess. It's like she's pretty and sexy, yet she is so innocent and unassuming...she has no idea that she drives men wild! To me, Marilyn Monroe didn't portray that as well as Goldie. She seemed to be trying too hard. I also liked the fact that many of the characters that Goldie has portrayed have "matured" as she did. As she reached a certain age, her characters began to mature in some ways (the rich spoiled type of woman or the aging hipster type and so on...depending on the role).

To me, Goldie's character (Jill) is the quintessential hippie chic. While she's very much a free spirit, she also has a very naive and innocent quality about her. I think that this film captures the tail end of the hippie era quite well. This film is so sweet and innocent. I love it! Give it a try if you haven't and keep an open mind.

Movie Review: An understated, but beautiful score.
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie had very little music score, which worked well with the Broadway Play adaptation. Yet the few music moments were charming as well as beautifully written. It might be noted that the opening song was nominated for a Golden Globe Award. That, along with the 'Picnic On the Floor' music and several others, were delightful, overlooked segments, which happens more than often to the Hollywood film music people.

Movie Review: Top entertainment film!
Summary: 5 Stars

Goldie Hawn, one of my beloved actress by beauty, talent and unforgettable charisma, owner of a magnetic and spelling charisma is a fledgling actress who stumbles into the emotional universe of a self sufficient blind boy: Edward Albert , despite the omnipresent and over protective mother (Ellen Heckart) who won an academy prize for this role.
An icon film of the seventies.

Movie Review: still relevent today
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a charming movie about desire for independence but also about fear and letting go. This film still resounds with young people who are blind so while the groovy clothes may have changed the experience has not. Enjoy.
