5.0 out of 5 stars Gritty Powerful Story of Drug Dealer Trying to Escape, February 14, 2005

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: De la Calle (DVD)

This superbly filmed and acted film is better than almost all recent fare coming from Hollywood, with exceptional production values, narrative, and acting. Years of being steeped in Mexico's lurid telenovelas has resulted in a crop of Mexican filmmakers that rank among the finest in the world and have also resulted in the crafting of a story and film that ranks among the best anywhere.

This is the story of a single mother and her boyfriend who become embroiled in a series of missteps and ill-fortune on their starry-eyed attempt to break free of urban squalor to live by the sea. However, it becomes clear that this vision is doomed from the start. In addition, the boyfriend's search for his long-lost father results in a shocking discovery that shakes his very foundation.

The story is captivating compelling and enthralling. It paints a realistic moonscape of what life is for people who live on the margins or fringes of society and struggle to come to grips with reality even as they hold dear the types of homes and dreams common to all humanity.

Overall, a must-see film.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unforgettable. . .(almost unbearable), February 10, 2010

By 

The Concise Critic: (New England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: De la Calle (DVD)

A few hours of almost unbroken pathos: sorrow for the urchins of the street; shame for the corrupt law enforcement; sympathy for the broken homes; horror at the violence and rape. . .Stark is an understatement. This film visits the living hell of these broken people as they head to the real hell.

5.0 out of 5 stars De la Calle (Streeters), January 27, 2010

By 

indy film (Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: De la Calle (DVD)

I think "De la Calle" (Streeters) is a great movie!.
You can see the real deal of how many young boys get involve with drugs and drug dealers. It is an easy and fast way to get money, and for the poverty that, in this case, Mexico is, then that is the best way yo go for many people.
In this movie is very realistic in all the aspect, and it also show you the poverty that Mexico goes through, and unfortunately, the way that its youth is taking.
