Belle
Synopsis: Exemplary costume piece about the true story of a mixed race daughter of a Royal Navy Admiral who is raised by her aristocratic great-uncle in 18th century England.
“Beautifully cast, touchingly played and handsomely mounted, 'Belle' is as close to perfect as any costumed romance has a right to be. ”~Movie Nation

3 stars (Good Enough) The props and costumes etc. are spot on - interesting story with an excellent cast. ~Tubbs
4 stars (Very Good) Outstanding cast; important & perhaps partly true story. Covers the period ten years after Cook & Banks were first in NZ, with Cook recording positive comments about Maori & Banks busy spreading venereal diseases in Tahiti - an age of contradictions. ~Sandy
