Cosa Bella

It had been a while I hadn't seen any short film with a gay content that I liked, but luckily "Cosa Bella" came to my hands and I actually loved it!. It's great to see characters that are realistic and not stereotypes. Both protagonists are great, and specially the actress Alexie Gilmore who plays Belle. I recommend "Cosa Bella" to anybody that has ever fallen in love with the wrong person, to anybody that has fallen in love with the right person but in the wrong time, to anybody that has fallen in love with the right person at the right time but have not been corresponded, and..........to everybody, because sooner or later you'll end up surrendering to love. Don't run..., don't hide..., Love Will Get You! :)

I felt I had to write this review, simply because everyone who wrote one so far absolutely LOVED the movie. But why? I will say this, Cosa Bella really looks very good. It looks like a big Hollywood movie (and I mean that as a compliment for a change) and it has cool camera work and editing and music (Sia's "Breathe Me" is in there). And yet, the whole story looks like it was cut out of a feature film. It doesn't seem like a short film - it seems like a work in progress. Which is such a shame! If this were a feature film, one that lets you actually get close to the characters, take part in their development, and then still have the same scenes with the same great music and great camera work and dialog, it would probably be excellent. I would love it. I would feel with the characters, laugh with them, cry with them, root for them. But this way, the film is just a sad (albeit good-looking) reminder of what could've been.

Having said that, it certainly seems like Fiona MacKenzie is going to do great things in the future.

i saw this movie at outfest in LA and it definitely rose to the top in the shorts presentation. compact, but still effective, the feature quality short goes a long way to prove that you do not need 120 minutes or a multi-million dollar budget to craft an absorbing movie experience.

the storyline is thoughtful and intelligent and it's beautifully directed and shot.

and luckily the two lead actresses are not only gorgeous and easy to watch, but deliver solid performances full of depth and emotion too.

well worth the quick watch!

Cosa Bella is a real love story for our time. The story is completely thought out and brought to the screen in a manner that left me grateful for being permitted to enter the lives of these women. The characters (and the sexy actresses who play them) are ones that I would tune-in to watch on a regular basis on television, or pay to see their stories explored more fully in a feature length film. The film's writer/director has an amazing ability for bringing authenticity to the screen. Moreover, the high production value carries the film into the realm of the truly sublime. I highly recommend this film to anyone in search of a tale that tugs relentlessly at the heart strings.

I don't know what's about this film, perhaps' the girls or the photography, the whole story, how it's filmed, but I just love it.

I can't stop watching it and every time I find something new to watch.

I LOVE short films, because I do believe you can tell a story in a few minutes, but this one takes that to the extreme.

And it's not just one thing -yes, the girls are awesome-, it's the whole thing.

It's been filmed in NY -or pretends to be there-. I don't know why, most of the American movies I like happens in NY.

I can just tell you one thing about this movie: If you haven't watched it yet, DO IT KNOW, you'll love it.

It's Just lovely!
