[edit] NON NEUTRAL
I agree with CovenantD, this looks more like a presskit or something.
[edit] NPOV
This article reads like a press release from the production company, and the reviews section reads like more hype. I suspect a concerted effort to use Wikipedia as a means of promoting this film. CovenantD 19:40, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Please Help
I am a producer of this film and i am sorry if i adding information to this page that i was not supposed to add. After I discovered this website that had information about our film, I added links to articles and reviews about the film. All of these articles and reviews are from credible 3rd party sources and can be verified by clicking on the link. Please advise me if i did something wrong or if i need to do something better. Thanks. 64.134.91.79 02:20, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Suggestions
I've just finished making some changes that I hope helped NPOV the article and make it more encyclopedic, but there's still some work that needs to be done on it. Primarily, the article contains no negative info. Did the movie receive any negative or neutral reviews? It would not be good practice to exclude these. Also, there are parts that read like a press release for the film, maybe because some text is used from such a release. We need to make sure we have permission to use this material (we probably do, since Sean Wolfington is helping with the article). Anyway, the article should read more like an encyclopedia article. I can work more on it and post more specific suggestions here. I'd like help if anyone has time. I've also asked Sean Wolfington to post suggestions here (rather than working directly on the article, per WP:COI). delldot | talk 21:56, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
- I'd also suggest cutting down the quotations from the reviews to maybe a sentence each and paraphrasing. delldot | talk 18:55, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Response to suggestions
Thanks for your changes. I don't know what type of negative information you are looking for but up to this point everything has been very positive for us and we are hoping there is not any negative news in the future. One piece of recent news is that the white house and the department of immigration gave our director an award for the film because it portrays latino's in a positive light and is a positive contribution to the integration of Latino's into America. Here is an article that is about that: http://www.zenit.org/english/visualizza.phtml?sid=101940 Thank you for all of your edits... please let me know if i can do anything in the future.

[edit] Another Response to your suggestions
Here is a "not so great" of a review - we only got 2.5 out of 4 stars - http://www.reelfilm.com/tiff0604.htm#bella
This is another "not so great" review - http://www.eyeweekly.com/tiff/?p=27 To quote the negative part: "Alejandro Monteverde’s directorial debut is ambitious, but it veers too far into sentimentality to be successful......A good-looking movie with good-looking actors but, ultimately, too pat and too sweet to satisfy."
Obviously i would prefer that these negative reviews not be in the article but i wanted to give you the information you requested.
Thanks again for taking the time to edit this. Sean.Seanwolfington 06:01, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
