Viewers appreciate 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly' for its unique perspective, placing them in the shoes of the protagonist with locked-in syndrome. The film's emotional depth, enhanced by a strong cast and a well-chosen soundtrack, resonates deeply. However, some viewers are put off by the perceived hypersexualization and the main character's misogynistic undertones, which they feel could be addressed in a potential remake.
