Synopsis

Butterfly is set in the year 1937 in a small Nevada desert mining town. Jess Tyler (Stacey Keach) is a hermit who works in a disused silver mine as the caretaker. His wife deserted him 10 years earlier, and his teenage daughter Kady (Pia Zadora) ran off and gave birth to the illegitimate child of a rich man, named Wash Gillespie (Edward Albert), who refused to marry her.

Wash's father (Ed McMahon) owns the mine, so Kady decides its riches should belong to her. She returns home and tries to persuade Jess to let her have it, going to any length, including the seduction of her own father. Death and mystery ensue, leading to a climatic trial presided over by Judge Rauch (Orson Welles) to decide the fate of the scandalous Kady when rumors of improper relations with Jess circulate around town.

Timothy Evans

3/10

The musical choices in Butterfly felt out of place and distracting, taking away from the emotional impact of crucial scenes. Instead of complementing the tension and drama of the narrative, the soundtrack often clashed with the tone of the movie, making it difficult to fully immerse in the story.

John Walker

6/10

The soundtrack effectively sets the tone for the scenes, creating a sense of unease and tension when necessary.

Karen Jackson

3/10

The soundtrack of Butterfly failed to capture the essence of the 1937 setting in a Nevada desert mining town. The music did not evoke the sense of isolation and desolation that the characters experienced, missing an opportunity to enhance the storytelling.

4/10

The lack of a cohesive theme or motif throughout the soundtrack of Butterfly left the audience feeling disoriented and disconnected from the characters' struggles. The music did not effectively underscore the relationships, conflicts, and revelations in the film, resulting in a missed opportunity to deepen the audience's engagement with the story.
