"Butterfly Kiss" is a 1995 British film, directed by Michael Winterbottom and written by Frank Cottrell Boyce. It stars Amanda Plummer and Saskia Reeves. It was also released under the alternative title "Killer on the Road".

Plot

Set on the bleak motorways of Lancashire, "Butterfly Kiss" tells the story of Eunice (Plummer), a nomadic serial killer, and Miriam (Reeves), a naive and lonely young girl who falls under her spell.

Reception

Film critic Roger Ebert noted that the use of the names 'Mi' and 'Eu' for characters defined by good and evil suggest two sides of a schizophrenic [sic] personality warring against each other with ultimately tragic results.cite web |url=http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19960809/REVIEWS/608090301/1023 |title=Butterfly Kiss |last=Ebert |first=Roger |authorlink=Roger Ebert |work=Chicago Sun Times |date=1996-08-09 |accessdate=2007-08-02]

"Variety" called it "An often breathtakingly original meld of road movie, lesbian love story, psychodrama and black comedy".cite web |url=http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117903730.html?categoryid=31&cs=1&p=0 |title=Butterfly Kiss |work=Variety |date=1995-02-16 |accessdate=2007-08-02 |first=Derek |last=Elley]
