Leave your thoughts about Buttercup Bill.
| Irish TimesTara BradyButtercup Bill is not, despite, initial appearances, headed toward Twin Peaks. It's is, rather, a messed-up, highly erotically-charged two-step. |
| Radio TimesDavid ParkinsonThe leads have a potent chemistry, which is reinforced by the tantalising flashbacks and the refusal to embrace linearity or the male gaze. |
| Times (UK)Kate Muir[A] woozy, erotic and disturbing Southern indie-gothic concoction. |
| Electric SheepSarah CroninLike the relationship it lays bare, Buttercup Bill is tender, playful, moving and deeply disturbing. |
| Little White LiesDavid JenkinsThis deathly dull southern psychodrama searches for (but doesn't find) something interesting to say. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawHere is a tiresome act of self-indulgence that looks like a gussied-up film-school piece - a flatly acted pastiche southern gothic with dabs of David Lynch and early Harmony Korine. |
