Movie Reviews of Stella
Movie Review: Stellar is Stella!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this heart-warming movie! I have been watching this movie with my children since 1990. 20 years later, my children still ask if they can borrow it!
The Movie - Stella models many ways of sacrifice that a loving parents makes for their child.
The Actors - Bette Midler perfectly delivers each tone and expression that the writer intended. The result is tears of joy! Trini Alvarado, for such a young actress at the time, is perfection. You feel her pain AND triumph! John Goodman also demonstrates his ability to draw you into his situation which today is so common. When watched carefully, it is evident that the supporting cast was carefully selected; all the details were polished.
Movie Review: Stella DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this for my teenage daughter in an attempt to explain, in story form, the trials and tribulations that girls go through with their mothers. I wanted to represent our differences using this format in the hopes that she would connect our issues with the characters in the movie. Plus, I LOVE Bette Midler and when I saw this 20 years ago I was touched by her courage as a mother. The movie, Stella, is about a mother who doesn't have much education but raises her daughter to value education, and subtly urges her to make a life better than her own. What I liked about Bette Midler's character was her acceptance of her own life, and love for her daughter...despite her daughter's harsh judgments of her.Movie Review: Bette Midler shines as Stella
Summary: 5 Stars
STELLA stars Bette Midler. It's a touching movie about the bond between mother and daughter. After a fling with a doctor, she becomes pregnant, and refuses to accept any charity from him. As Jenny (her daughter) gets older, she allows her to have a relationship with her father. Stella and Jenny share special bond, and there is laughter and tears along the way. When Jenny becomes a teenager, and closer to her dad, Stella realizes she can't provide the life for Jenny that her father could, so she sends her off. I thought the ending of the movie was very sad, maybe not intended but I thought it was. Lots of laughs in between the tears.Movie Review: 4 Tissues
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fantastic movie about love and sacrifice. It demonstrates what true love means, and in this case, it is shown through the love of a mother for her daughter. I would recommend this movie to anyone who loves someone else. I actually enjoyed it just as much, if not more, the second time around when I shared it with my mom and aunt. I knew what was to come and cried even harder. A great movie to share with a friend, a parent, a sibling, a co-worker, just about anyone who has the heart to love someone so much that they would do anything for them. A movie you would want to own!!!!Movie Review: I love Stella
Summary: 5 Stars
I have watched this movie so frequently that my video tape of it is practically disintegrated. The picture jumps all over the place and the sound drops out but that doesn't matter because I know all the dialogue by heart anyway. There are so many phrases I got from this movie that I still throw around. What great and fun dialogue! Next to Midler the only person who was more fun to watch was John Goodman. Just a hoot! As for the negative Jan. 2002 review regarding the ending of this movie, well. . . I do believe he/she missed the point.
