Review of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007) by Chen Y — 12 Mar 2011
Before you go all down my throat, I understand this is based on a true story and I also understand that it was a remarkable story, but in all honesty, I didn't think this film was anything special.
I think the film is just too slow for me to really get invested by this story. It takes forever to get to the point and when it finally does I couldn't help but feel emotionally depressed. The actors all do a good job and the director does pretty good too, but I think the film just didn't grasp my attention like it should have.
This film does have powerful moments, but for those powerful moments, there are also some dragged on moments. This film has more good than bad, but just barely.
