About this movie

BELLE is a tale of passion and romance in the face of overwhelming adversity. Inspired by a 1779 painting of Dido Elizabeth Belle, and her life story, BELLE tells the tale of a mixedrace girl raised as an aristocratic lady in 18th Century England. Battling social prejudice against the backdrop of a controversial slavery case, BELLE brings to life the love story of Dido Belle and John Davinier, in a world where one of Englands most powerful men, Lord Chief Justice Mansfield, stands between them. 2013 Dido Belle Limited, The British Film Institute

Entertaining, a stirring story told upon a sumptuous background and costume design. The lead actress was wonderful, and I identified with her struggle.
