“Bella” is not a “Christian” film but is a film with a very powerful message. It is family-friendly, immerses one in the the harsh realities of life in NYC, is not preachy, and probably the best movie I’ve seen in the last ten years. Absolutely... extraordinary. If you haven’t seen it, go this weekend...

I saw Bella and I would disagree with you about it not being a Christian film. There are many Christian images throughout the movie: The family says a prayer before they eat a meal, there are shots of crucifixes and some characters wear a cross around the neck.
While the movie is not a vehicle for proselytizing, it is about responding to the effects of sin with a love that changes hearts. I think the producers, actors, and writers wanted to appeal to a broad audience and not just ‘preach to the choir.’
The movie does a lot to dispel the lie that pro-lifers only care about unborn children and then abandon them and their mothers on the birthday.
