I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
I attended the US Premiere of Rehje at the 2009 Los Angeles Film festival. This documentary from Mexico tells the colorful story of migration from poverty-stricken towns in the outlying regions of Mexico to the hope of prosperity in the north. However, instead of focusing on those staying behind as family members leave Mexico for the promise of riches and a better life in the United States, "Rehje" follows one amazing woman as she decides to leave the bustling metropolis of Mexico City and head back to her hometown in the bucolic countryside.Directors Anais Huerta and Raul Cuesta employ a solitary voice-over technique -- Rehje narrates the film herself. There are no talking heads here, although there is a cursory examination of one of the deeper issues surrounding the loss of culture in the Mexican countryside -- the lack of water. In fact, as the filmmakers noted in the Q&A following the screening, the project actually began as a case study of the drought conditions brought on by the diversion of water to more populated areas. But Rehje's story was so compelling that it overshadowed the political implications of the water management issues and declining conditions in these now-dusty small villages. Ultimately, the point does get across, and Rehje finds out that "you can't go home again."
