I saw this movie last week, and I loved it! It was so powerful, and the acting was actually quite good, considering that it was a low-budget film. A must see for everyone!

I got to see Bella about a week or so ago, and I loved it. I agree with Pastor Timothy that it was obviously a lower-cost movie, but I think that’s what makes it great-the movie is incredibly simple. Unless, like Mrs. PT, you get sick at a bouncing camera, I think the simplicity of the movie actually enhances the movies message. I kept thinking about what WOULD have been done if the movie was trying to become a super-popular movie and make a lot of money. But by keeping it simple, I think the message was more clearly heard, AND was presented incredibly realistically. As Carlin said, the movie presented an alternative to abortion that is a realistic option.

In short, I LOVED THIS MOVIE, and I think everyone should go see it if they can!

Oh, and I’m a big advocate of “voting with the pocketbook”-if you want to show your support for the movie go ahead and pay the money to see it, and pay the money to buy the DVD when it comes out.

This was such a beautiful film. As for Carlin’s question, I don’t think they get married. It just wouldn’t be right — it would be a very unbalanced marriage. But the adoption is really, really beautiful. The sensitivity and love in this film, mixed with strong and visionary truth, is astounding.

Bella FINALLY came to a theatre near us!!! Hurrah! My family and I went last night. What a wonderful film with a very pro-life, pro-family message. If you go see it, be sure to bring tissues! ( :

I really liked how they didn’t get married right away. I think it sends a better message to girls who are pregnant. They don’t have the excuse of “yeah, sure, if I found a perfect husband like Jose I’d keep the baby too.” Instead, all Nina finds is a family that’s willing to lovingly adopt her little girl - something that’s a realistic option for almost every pregnant mother.
So - the big question: Did Nina and Jose end up getting married?? That’s the big debate in our house! ( ;

Great movie - definitely go see it and support it if you can, if not, get it when it comes out on DVD!!!!

I want to see this very badly, but it is not showing at our local theatres! Too bad. I’ll have to wait for DVD I suppose!

God bless,

Our youth group went to see it last night. It was an awesome movie with a very good message. By all means, you should try to see this film.

I saw “Bella” this evening and was quite impressed. During the movie, my thoughts were positive but not stellar, but afterwards my mom and I talked the entire hour and a half home about it, and came up with some incredible allegories and discussion topics. It’s after 1 AM, so I have not time to write a complete review. However, I plan on doing so soon, and it will be posted on my blog, if you want to check it out.

The summary of the review: SEE THIS FILM!

I hope to see Bella soon. I have read several good reviews and am looking forward to seeing it.
I also heard the producer, Leo Severino, on the radio this week. It was very interesting and made me even more exited about seeing the movie!
