This is a one of a kind film that you'll want to see.
The film is the story of Yoseli who goes to prison and finds some people there with whom she forms a music group.
This is a film that is recreation of the stories of the people who are appearing in the film. Everyone in the film was in prison and helped put the film together as a result it is something truly unique.
When I started REAS I didn't know what to make of it. It didn't seem like anything special. It seemed a bit odd...and then as the film went on and things happened, and we met more people I found myself falling more and more in love with the film. There was something wonderful about all the people that made me lean in. I wanted to spend more time with them and so I backed up the film and watched it a second time.
I'm not going to lie and say the film is perfect. It's a bit uneven here and there and I like some of the songs better than others. But the unevenness gives it the sense of life. The film feels like it is what it is a work made with love and care.
This film is a gem. It's the sort of off the beaten path film that Unseen Films was started to highlight.
If you want something off Hollywood this film is for you.
