StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

yildirim-gulcin88 This was one of warmest stories I've watched for a long time. Humans can connect in such unusual ways at interesting levels and times. A routine can be as boring as possible as it can be one other's dream. Henri and the butterfly make the most unusual companionship possible by just being themselves. Soundtracks are to die for and combining with the awesome acting this movie deserves to be remembered.

dbdumonteil "Les Papillons Blancs" is a French local organization for parents and friends of mentally disabled people.It would be nice to write that this movie is chock-full of memorable scenes ,of delicate lines,of harrowing emotion and features two Oscar-caliber performances.The subject is not that new:the odd pair of the younger and the older,the latter giving the former all he can and in return "the love he takes is equal to the love he makes" (see for that matter Penn's "miracle worker" ,Guy Green 's "patch of blue" ,Truffaut's "L'Enfant Sauvage",Randa Haine's "children of a lesser god" ,the list is endless).A restaurant owner,a widower, hires a mentally disabled girl to help him .You can easily guess what will happen next.The actors,some will say,are admirable: in fact ,she can hardly play and he sounds as he 's only half trying.She looks more like a hip neo- punk than like a mentally disabled girl.It might have made a good short but Yolande Moreau spreads her action thinly over 103 min ,which makes you yawn your head off.The lines of one scene involving three boozers consist of three words repeated in a drunken voice. In short ,this is the kind of movie you would like to love ...Sadly...
