This Beautiful Fantastic

Bella Brown is a young woman with obsessive–compulsive disorder.[2] She works in a public library and is trying to write a children’s book. Bella's fear of plants causes her to neglect the garden of her rented house. Her landlord gives her one month in which to improve the garden, or face eviction. She develops relationships with her curmudgeonly next-door-neighbour, his doctor, her cook/housekeeper, and a male inventor who frequents the library.

Principal photography on the film began in London in July 2015.[3][4]

On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 61% based on 23 reviews, and an average rating of 6.08/10.[5] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 51 out of 100, based on 10 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[6]

Middling reviews from critics used the term “twee”[7][8][9] with comparisons to Amélie.[7][8] Negative reviews focused on having too many distracting questions, such as why Bella doesn’t just hire a gardener for a few days[7] and the film’s depiction of mental illness issues as charming eccentricities.[7][8] Some reviews focused on personal taste, with Dennis Harvey calling the film a “formulaic crowd-pleaser”,[8] essentially stating that audiences will either find the film sweet or too sweet.[8][9] However, on the more positive side, Sheri Linden calls the film “sweet but not saccharine”,[10] and Neil Genzlinger writes “enjoyable performances keep the tale from becoming too heavy-handed.”[11]
