Review of Belle (2013) by Adam K — 09 May 2014
Inspired by a true story, Belle tells the fascinating tale of Dido Elisabeth Belle, an illegitimate mixed race young woman, raised by her great uncle, Lord Chief Justice Mansfield in late 18th century England while the country is convulsed by the slavery issue.
A handsome costume drama with an intriguing political backstory, featuring some great performances, is sadly let down by a somewhat pedestrian and predictable script though. Nevertheless still worth seeing.
