Bella (2007) Review Summary

Bella "is about a social problem that many people face and it is resolved without preaching and in a surprising way."  This social problem is about an unmarried waitress who ends up pregnant and the decisions that she makes with the help of Jose, the restaurant's chef.  Viewpoints reviewers recommend Bella because it "is beautiful in its example of love and sacrifice."  Even though most reviewers loved the movie, a few people can't recommend Bella due to the fact that it "was very disjointed and hard to follow, and was unbelievable as far as the lead character in the film."

Indie film with a heart

Netflix lets you download and instantly watch some films, so we looked one night and found Bella. I didn't know anything about it but it turned out to be a good movie with an interesting perspective and a kind romantic heart at its center.

Bella starts a little moodily, with a shot of a creepy-looking...

My husband and I went to this movie on the recommendation of a fellow church member.  I can see why, because in my eyes it was pro-life, which I am, but my husband is not.   Whoever put this movie together must be an amateur.  It was very disjointed and hard to follow, and was unbelievable as far...

If you want to make God laugh, then tell Him your plans. This line from the movie sums up the plot of the movie. The characters in this film find out how cruel the world can be when life doesn't work out as planned.

The main character has the talent, and is on his way to becoming a famous soccer star. But, all it takes is one moment to change his life forever. Years later, he faces the sorrows of his past by being available to someone else who finds her life also turned upside down.

Most of the film is spoken in English, but there are few easy to follow sub-titles as the film beautifully portrays... read full review »

My husband and I went to see bella after I read the lead actor's story online.  It was done with a minimal amount of time and money, but feels like quality.  It was worth spending the money to see it.  It probes the meaning of life, from all sides and sends you on a journey of your own past.  We both came out of the theater touched by the love of a child and we appreciated our own decisions made 30 years ago.

Touching, honest and surprising, a realistic look at life.

The story behind the movie is almost as interesting as the film itself. It involves the star of the film and how he got into the picture. Apparently he was a soap opera and rock star in Mexico and came to the U.S. to get into American films.

This is not your typical movie fare. It has some real human interest in it and it is very honest about its characters. I don't want to give away the story line, but it is about a social problem that many people face and it is resolved without preaching and in a surprising way. It also had some great scenes with the family which is Hispanic and we get to see...

One of the three best movies I've ever seen, but you'll cry

Bella is a wonderful, deep, pensive and profound movie.  You have to be patient with it in the beginning, but as the story unfolds, it becomes a marvel. It's a story of tragedy and dealing with it, of love, and learning the true meaning of it. It's pure innocence and depth beyond measure. If it doesn't make you cry and touch you deep within your soul, then you don't have a soul. It is NOT a "chick movie", as many of my male friends have watched this movie and absolutely loved it. Some people thought it was too pro life, but I didn't view it that way. It wasn't pushy, as the decision was always... read full review »

Absolutely heart wrenching and honest.

Bella is a wonderful story showing the importance of a strong family and unconditional love.  It gave an honest look into the hopelessness of unwanted pregnancy while offering solutions other than abortion.

I "for real" cried for the first time in a long time while watching a movie.  It was such an awesome message of hope.

This is such a good story and the acting is wonderful.  I didn't think that it was possible to think so highly of an actor as I do the main actor in this movie.  He really is a special guy.  If more people took to heart the story of this movie the world would be a better place.

Finally a movie that leaves me feeling better about life when I leave the theater! If you are tired of the meaningless garbage that comes out of Hollywood, you must see this film. (In addition, the leading actor is easy on the eyes.) A simple story that revolves around an all-to-common moral dilemma in our modern world, "Bella" shows us that life is a gift that is not to be taken for granted.

I thought this was a great film for those looking for an alternative message to normal hollywood fare.  The film celebrates the value of human life and forgiveness without resorting to simplistic answers or conventional endings.  My wife was dissatisfied with the ending because it didn't wrap up all the loose ends neatly, but I found that to be more real.

theproducers of this movie are absolutely heroic...they've rejected pop culture media trash and refuse to produce anything that does not inspire humanity.  the movie Bella is completely different from anything I've ever seen and is beautiful in its example of love and sacrifice.
