Belle: highly recommended for fans of historicals, Regencies, and interracial romances

Just saw Belle. Maybe because I was afraid it would be self-important in its handling of a based-on-a-true-story about a mixed-race illegitimate woman raised by her noble family in England at the end of the 18th century, I wasn't expecting to like it much, but it was amusing and touching and pretty to look at. I gave it 9 stars on IMDb. At Rotten Tomatoes, it has an 83% for audience and critics,
