In the film, the female director Christine Jeffs strives to avoid either-or, the dual moral judgment of right and wrong, good and evil, and tries to write Plath's tragic past as a fable. Jeffers possesses the sensibility and keenness necessary to express this subject. Her understanding of Plath comes more from intuition than analysis. Therefore, the film has a strong emotional power, which exists in the emotional connection established by the director, the lead actor and Plath. Their fanatical identity gives the film an overwhelming strength, and almost makes the film's story unaffordable. The suffocating atmosphere carefully created by Jeffers, and the gray depressive emotions that have gathered, make the audience to the edge of collapse like a heroine.

The script still hasn't captured Sylvia's soul, and Gwyneth Paltrow's acting is still hard to break through

Sylvia Plath only wrote one novel “the bell jar”. The box is locked, it is dangerous. There are no windows so I can't see what is in there. There is only a little grid. No exit. She lives when , Pain, loneliness, and almost no one knows. After he died, he became a best-selling author, how ironic. Sometimes I feel like I'm not solid. I'm hollow. There's nothing behind my eyes. As if I never felt anything, all I want is blackness.
