Movie Reviews of BellaMovie Review: Not a gun in sight Summary: 5 StarsI avoid violence in films and it isn't easy. Any topic these days seems to require a gun as an accessory. As a result, I watch a lot of "chic flicks" and comedies. Unfortunately, many of them are drivel, which is frustrating. But this particular one wrapped its arms around me and wouldn't let me go. I had a million things to do, yet it drew me further in, scene after scene. I expected to lose interest; I expected to find a character that spoiled it for me; I expected to get lost in indecipherable dialogue. None of those things happened. It made me glad I had taken the time to watch it. Well done!
Summary of Bella Life is a complicated journey in which right and wrong are sometimes indistinct and where the things that really matter are often unclear. Bella is a powerful, leisurely-paced film in which Jose (Eduardo Verastegui) and Nina (Tammy Blanchard) struggle to do what's right while seeking meaning in their lives. A quiet, brooding man with a dark past, Jose works as a chef in his brother Manny's (Manny Perez) restaurant where he mostly keeps to himself until young waitress Nina is fired. Touched by Manny's unfair treatment of Nina, Jose impulsively leaves work to follow Nina and spends a day with her where he discovers that she is pregnant and alone. The two become incredibly close in the space of a day, sharing their pasts, feelings, and fears, and a lasting friendship is born. As Nina struggles with her pregnancy options and Jose comes to terms with a horrific incident from his past, the pair's newfound friendship aids in growth and healing. In the end, Jose and Nina's lives become permanently intertwined in a most beautiful and unexpected way. Bella is a moving, introspective film that will inspire serious personal reflection. --Tami Horiuchi An international soccer star (Eduardo Verastegui) is on his way to sign a multimillion dollar contract when something happens that brings his career to an abrupt end. A beautiful waitress (Tammy Blanchard), struggling to make it in New York City, discovers something about herself that she's unprepared for. In one irreversible moment, their lives are turned upside down...until a simple gesture of kindness brings them both together, turning an ordinary day into an unforgettable experience.
