That's how we feel after watching this movie. Sure the pro-life message is great - IF that's what you are able to get out of this film! The storyline intermingles current reality with flashbacks and flashforwards and even some, what might be called "dream sequences". The problem is you don't know when or where you always are at in the story of the film. It certainly is a potentially powerful storyling, but we were left confused at the end as to exactly how it wrapped up. Almost felt like they weren't sure how to end it. Another 10-12 minutes probably would have made this a 'must-see'. But as is, it's only so-so. Bella - DVD – Carolyn Knowlton, 04/09/2009I kept waiting for the pace on this movie to pick up. The storyline progressed VERY slowly. It ended well with a strong pro-life message but I couldn't recommend it as a good movie. Bella - DVD – Andy Bendzin, 03/17/2009When I saw this movie on ChristianCinema.com list I could not go on before I share my comments. Not only is it a great pro-life movie but it is the story between two people that touches everyone's heart. It is hard not to shed tears of joy and sorrow. Bella - DVD – Robbi Pottorff, 03/13/2009Kind of slow moving. Too much time passed at the end could have made it a better ending. Bella - DVD – June De La Rosa, 03/02/2009Thought provoking - there will always be someone to teach us about life, whether a blind person, a neighbor, a co-worker as in this case and they came out helping each other in unimaginable ways!
TBN showed an interview a few months past with this actor and were talking about the impact of this Bella on cinema viewers. One instance is when a pregnant girl's friend from Florida contacted the actor in California in real life asking for help with her pregnant friend who was contemplating abortion. The actor contacted the pregnant girl and came to terms with her. The girl decided not to abort but rather give the baby up for adoption upon birth to the actor but what happened was that the girl had the baby and could not let go so she kept the baby and the actor was very pleased with the outcome for everyones' sake - the mom and baby! That's why I wanted to see the movie and it sure does touch sensitive hearts. Bella - DVD – Deborah Thompson, 02/26/2009A little hard to follow but a good movie - dreams and reality ran together Bella - DVD – shari macfee, 12/15/2008Fantastic......I loved this message and I loved the entire cast. How inspiring and what a testiment for Pro-lifers. I highly recommend it..it is NOT for kids only late teens and young adults. Bella - DVD – Darlene Simmons, 11/19/2008 This was my first DVD that I rented from CC.Com, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It gave me a peek into a different culture. Also, the interaction between family members was refreshing. It is a movie filled with compassion and making right choices. Bella - DVD – patty hager, 06/30/2008I have been watching many Christian or family movies lately purchased through Christian Cinema.com I was a little hesitant about buying Bella but purchased it anyways because it was a redemption story. Yes, the ending surprised me a little but it was a beautiful story of a life being saved and a precious little girl being loved. I would say buy this movie and watch out for the slow beginnning but it picks up and will cause your heart to smile. PH Bella - DVD – Tracie Hall, 06/19/2008I really enjoyed this movie. It didn't have a Chrisitian message that showed the forgiveness of Christ. Howver, it was clean and showed how this man finally came to forgive himself and find love again. I just thought that the ending could have made more sense, and given the viewers more satisfaction after following the story through.
I don't like movies that leave you with little in the end.  Displaying 1 to 10 (of 10 reviews) ( View all 10 reviews) |  |
