leoberning Absolutely lovely! Chocolat meets Notting Hill!! Captivated from the start! Skipping through channels and came to abrupt halt with this! A 5 min coffee break ended up getting lost in Bella's garden! Thought provoking at time, sentimental and heart warming with that ever so charming British humor...or is it sarcasm! This film exposes the inner magic and creative charm we have seem to have lost in society today!

Antonio Nimertis The human condition truly looks with a garden ... for some it is green, dense and majestic ... for others poor and dying, or abandoned and messy ; for some completely nonexistent ... Yet all the features from the early days did not change, not cancelled ... they're just waiting for you ... the allegory that takes care of the mental determinants of life is ahead of you, every day, every moment ... you don't have to be an expert, you learn ... There is no need to have born connoisseur, you train yourself ... you are not required to be gifted, you blossom ... all talents you had but could not sense them ... all the colors, smells, shapes ... you need the light of the meeting with yourself, the other, the Whole ... After all, if you don't recognize the beauty in your own inner bio-cosmos, with what right you blame the ugliness of others?

imdbViewer with all the negative fake news and all the mean selfish people abounding in life, this movie was a much needed respite from it all. Wow, so heart-tugging and captivating on so many levels. I'm not a Gardner, but I'm a human being with a heart, so this was not only a relief, but a true winner of a movie. I open my heart and door to people like this in real life. These are the type of characters that truly enrich us.

Dunham16 A Slovenian edited product it features three familiar names of the British acting world. Tom Wilkinson and Anna Chancellor are quite familiar to Americans. Jessica Brown Findley is familiar as brilliant in her so far one hit wonder- the first three seasons of Downton Abbey. The brilliant premise of ordinary people not necessarily fitting into a local society anxious to do so is enticing and well photographed and edited. Not necessarily for the crowd seeking funny comedy or themed social trends which is why I don't give it a perfect 10. It is a deeply thought out and wonderfully edited tale of character analysis of what most of us would like to do in a small town or local community though the fictitious characters are created as having more problems than perhaps do most of us on our parallel real life quest.
