Buttercup

About This Movie

Buttercup is a unique exploration of identity and resilience, told through Fortune's eyes as she navigates her past from Kinshasa to Liverpool. The film's atmosphere feels raw and intimate, almost like you're eavesdropping on her live stream. It's this blend of spoken word poetry and personal storytelling that sets it apart. The pacing varies, sometimes meditative and other times urgent, reflecting the highs and lows of her journey. The performances are heartfelt, drawing you into her world. While the director remains a mystery, the authenticity in Fortune's narrative shines through, making it a standout piece in contemporary cinema.

Buttercup exists in a bit of a gray area when it comes to format history, as it seems to have primarily circulated through digital platforms. There’s a certain charm to its grassroots production style that appeals to collectors who appreciate indie films with strong narratives. Scarcity is a bit of a concern since it hasn't had a physical release yet, but its unique storytelling method has caught the eye of those interested in contemporary spoken word cinema.
