"Bella," is a tender and novel romance that follows a handsome restaurant chef and a lovely waitress walking and talking around New York City.
There's not much more happening here than two people getting to know each other as we come to understand them both, yet that's a story we never tire of, so long as it's told well. And here, it is. Writer/ director Alejandro Gomez Monteverde's film is utterly touching and captivating, wisely humanist in refusing to cast even the most unpleasant characters as cardboard villains. A loving testament to the beauty of family, "Bella" won the People's Choice Award at last year's Toronto Film Festival. Rarely are crowd-pleasers so effortlessly artful.
"Bella" is an inspirational drama about a loving and compassionate man who gives a troubled and lonely woman a new lease on life with a selfless act of kindness. It is rated PG-13 and has a running time of one hour 40 minutes.
