An absolutely delightful movie! Jessica Findlay Brown shines in this kind of movie, in that romantic space between reality and fantasy. This movie is about the discovery of beauty, the journey from fear to adventure, the breaking of order for the chaos of beauty. I give it an 8 (delightful) out of 10. Pay special attention to the way they use the camera's focus in this film, notice how her view point of the garden begins out of focus and then sharpens as she begins to really see the hidden, yet vivid, beauty within. Notice how she goes from typewriter to precise graphics to beautiful sketches. So much to see in this movie, for those who love to linger in beautiful moments, that you just may have to watch it again.

Rushed ending, simple plot. But a good cast and one of Jessica's smiles manage to overcome most of the limitations.

Charming movie, inspirational and tastefully done, noticed a slight steampunkie Victorian flare to the Belle wardrobe :wink:

A charming, beautifully photographed modern fairy tale about love and gardening, This Beautiful Fantastic is worth seeing in spite of its dumb deterrent of a title. It’s an odd story about some very odd people guaranteed to grow on you. Written and directed with whimsical taste and obvious talent More

A gem of a little movie about finding ones voice, not judging others before you get to know them, rediscovering lost passions and fulfilling one's potential. It almost has a quirky "Amelie" feel to it, with Jessica B. Findlay's portrayal of the seemingly OCD afflicted Bella, which is More

**There comes a time for everyone that changes the life forever.**

This is a very charming title if you are a fantasy film fan. Good looking film posters too from different languages for different regions. In a way, that was my reason to watch this, but anyway I would have seen it sooner or later More
