À propos de ce film

Set against the backdrop of a beautiful London garden, this contemporary fairy tale centers on the unlikely friendship between a reclusive young woman who dreams of writing children’s books and a cranky widower. Facing eviction over her neglected garden, Bella (Jessica Brown Findlay) meets her grumpy, loveless, next-door neighbor (Tom Wilkinson), who happens to be an amazing horticulturalist.

Notes et avis

In the vein of Penelope, the musical score and cinematography perfectly enhance the themes and plot. I'm not sure why it's classified as a comedy, when it's an indie drama more than anything else. The few plot snafus are easily forgiven in this lovely film. Now, to find the soundtrack, because Google play certainly doesn't have it.

This was so artfully done! Very clean and family oriented. So many symbols and relationships between the flowers, garden, and the human relationships and experiences. I would highly recommend this film to any one.

Beautifully charming storybook tale. With glints of humor found in the everyday humbug of what it means to be human.
