Belle


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes

This has the romantic flair of Jane Austin with the added bonus of not just the women's class struggle but that of race and slavery as well. It's like Pride and Prejudice mixed with Amazing Grace. And a true story. How can it go wrong?

Great performances, handsomely photographed and the story keeps moving along. An affecting story with not much to complain about really. A mis-reading of a costume also gave me an idea for another movie...

I just hope Tom Felton doesn't keep getting type-cast.

But it's very enjoyable, so check it out!
