I would love to hear anyone who believes "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" to be great filmmaking to explain why this is the case. The fact that the only objections I have encountered thus far have been attempts to find allibis for my dislike - ie that I went in thinking that I wouldn't like it or that I'm not human (or a more measured position that I somehow missed its manifest humanity) - seem to reveal that the film is indefensible. Until I get actual, reasoned arguments I will persist in my view that "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" is not very good. Here's your chance.Michael J.

(Lisa went in wanting to like it and also didn't care for it.) Of course it would be convenient to mute my criticism on the basis of my hesistancy to love the film, but I still think I made arguments against its critical elevation, which requires debunking rather than a dismissal on the basis of my skepticism. Make an argument; until then, I will persist in my view that I am correct.Michael J.
