Chicago Sun-Times -
M. Butterfly does not take hold the way the stage play did.
|
|
|
The New York Times -
M. Butterfly as idiosyncratic as Mr. Cronenberg's work always is, is sometimes too flat and ambiguous for its own good.

Austin Chronicle -
Despite the sheer gorgeousness, it ends up feeling false and, towards the end, rushed.

ReelViews -
The movie, however, seems to make the wrong decision at almost every opportunity, trying for the kind of melodramatic tragedy that only works in opera.

TV Guide Magazine -
Though carefully cast and set in the most exotic of locales, the drama lacks any real excitement, the director's glacial style aligning itself all too patly with Hwang's arid rhetoric.
