Butterfly Jam review – Barry Keoghan can’t save this New Jersey misstep

Director Kantemir Balagov's third feature, "Butterfly Jam," premiered at Cannes with Barry Keoghan as a Circassian chef in New Jersey, marking Balagov's first English-language film. The movie is tonally uncertain and contrived, with key scenes inexplicably omitted and implausible magic-realism elements. Despite strong performances from Keoghan and Riley Keough, the film ultimately misfires.
