Float Like a Butterfly

I really enjoy this film, it was beautiful acted and amazing

I enjoyed this movie. It's over the top at times and too many stretched gaps in the story.

But ultimately tells a great underdog story. Hazel Doupe (Francis) is a superb actress and holds this movie together.

I liked this film particularly for its main character Frances being a character releasing a lot of emotions.

I recommend it even though it's not my type of film!

On top of it being a great movie...... it was made/filmed in Ireland about Irish people!!!!!! SLAINTE!!! CHEERS!!!! X

This Film directed by Camel Winters is a very beautiful Irish film. First I think if you are interested in Irish society, it is a perfect film for you. The fact that the film is Irish makes it original because there are not many famous films from this country, but this one won the FIPRESCI Discovery Prize and when we see the film we understand why. The film Stars Hazel Doupe, she is a great, young and pretty girl, she has talent and that has to be reconised. The film is about an original and historical subject. Frances is a girl from a traveller group in Ireland. She wants to protect and fight for her peaple, like her idol, Muhamed Ali. But her father is like a barrier in her goals because he wants to break her dreams. Frances is not the girl her father thinks she should be, but she is a heroine, and fights for her rights and her freedom. In this film we follow a strong girl, who has something to claim and to say. That is maybe the simple reason why I like it. Or maybe it is more than that.... ok this film is not the best one, but what is a very good film ? Here Frances makes sense to me because I can identify to her and that is the power of films, when fiction becomes reality.

A magical and incredible film of hope !!

Do not miss it !
