Butterfly Stroke

About This Movie

Butterfly Stroke is this intriguing drama that really captures the tension between order and chaos. Ruth, the main character, is quite a piece of work—her obsession with control makes for some fascinating moments, especially when her granddaughter Lori busts in. The pacing is interesting, with this odd balance of heartfelt interactions and comedic undertones that keep you glued. The performances are notable; the chemistry between the two leads feels genuine and layered. You can almost feel the backdrop of Zurich adding a surreal flavor to their unexpected holiday. It’s not your typical road trip narrative, which is probably what makes it stand out. There’s something raw and real about the way they navigate their relationship amidst such a heavy theme as death.

Butterfly Stroke has had a rather quiet release history, which might surprise some collectors. It’s not widely available on physical media, making it a bit of a hidden gem for those who appreciate character-driven narratives. There’s a growing interest in its unique themes and performances, and it certainly sparks discussions among those who have seen it. The scarcity of the title could make it a compelling find for someone who's keen on dramas that dive deep into family dynamics.
