Outsatanding job of Salma Hayek , one of her best performance in a low budget movie, excellente cast in their roles ( specially the women) . It shows the reality of latin american countries , even todays day.

Not bad for a TV made movie. Good performances all around, and Salma Hayek clearly had a passion for her role, as she did in Frida. Nicely produced. Moving and at times disturbing. Good costumes.

My uncle (my mom's oldest borther ), Manolo Tavarez Justo was Minerva Mirabal's husband.
In the movie, my uncle Manolo is played by Demian Bichir. Salma Hayek plays the role of Minerva Mirabal.
This movie is about part of my family in the Dominican Republic.

The story behind this very sad,I hope this film inspires others when it comes to violence against women. I sure do hope someone would remake this movie and give it some justice.

Not the best filming, but a great eye opener to the story of the butterflies in Santo Domingo. The 3 sisters brutally murdered by the Dictator General Trujillo.

However, it did attempt and even that attempt didnlt totally fail. It needed more romance, less cliche and more explosions.
Salma Hayek was pretty enough but not perfect in the lead role, everything just felt too plastic and the film avoided the hot topics and the sex and the danger that SHOULD have been at the very center of the story.
I felt it was poorly fictionalized version of a great real-life story.

There's nothing particularly wrong with In The Time Of The Butterflies, as it's technically sound. The dialogue is stilited, however, though again there's nothing fundamentally wrong with the method. It simply feels like there could have been much more to it, more intensity, especially considering its subject matter.

Well it was ok I guess. Salma did a decent job and Olmos was good like always. Ugh I'm glad they killed Mark Anthony when they did because I couldn't suffer another minute with him onscreen "acting". The story seemed rushed and there was all of about 0 character development, but it told the story I think it set out to. Either way it was a completely average movie that you should only check out if you're interested in some fictionalized events that led up to Dominican Dictator Rafael Trujillo's assassination. 52/100
