The Diving Bell and the Butterfly -- 2.5/4 stars
This movie has 93% on Rotten Tomatoes and Roger Ebert gave it 4 stars (whose opinion I value highly) but man this movie sucks. The main character is boring, his life is boring, the film is filmed boringly, the cinematography is boring, his past life before he was paralyzed is boring. His story is great (a paralyzed man capable of only blinking his left eye), but the movie is just flat. I felt no emotion during the movie except for when his dad called him at the hospital. I was expecting a lot more from this movie. It is well made and has excellent acting so I will give it 2.5 stars which is right along the line of good and bad, but definitely on the bad side.
