Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
What's fascinating is that it is the very restrictions the story imposes on a director that allow Schnabel to turn it into such an eerie stunner of a movie.
– Bob Mondello,

fresh:
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is one of the best movies of 2007, but I'd argue it's also the one most in tune with what this season of goodwill and tolerance is supposed to be all about.
– Peter Howell,

rotten:
Optimistically, Schnabel would like to fill such an ordeal with color, music and hot nurses. Wedding himself to Bauby's real trauma, though, seems beyond him.
– Joshua Rothkopf,

fresh:
An exquisite metaphor for the redemptive power of cinema. Without an ounce of cheap sentiment, this true story is as profoundly moving and dreamily beautiful as any film in recent memory.
– Joe Williams,
St. Louis Post-Dispatch,

fresh:
It's a subject and a film that perfectly blends the tragic with the triumphant.
