intouchables but actually good this is one of those films that i watch in one go, with no interruptions and zero review notes taken, and then just sit here unable to formulate any thoughts on it. the diving bell and the butterfly is presented using the only things the main character says he has left: his eye, his imagination, and his memories. it uses those three things to tell a captivating, inspiring, and genuinely emotional story. there's really nothing wrong with it and i only have one criticism: i wish there was more of it. that's about the highest praise i could give a film. i still read more
