Butterfield 8 is a much more interesting and much better movie than its reputation would suggest.

One of the problems is that Butterfield 8 really is trashy. It’s an overheated sweaty sex melodrama. I happen to like overheated sweaty sex melodramas.

It dates from a period when Hollywood was tentatively exploring the idea of making movies for grown-ups.
