Under the Bridge (2024)
Reena grew up next door so this one is very personal
When Reena was a toddler her and her family moved in next door. Her and her family became like family so much that if you visited my grandparents in Saskatchewan you could see pics of Reena there.
I gave 8 stars because there were certain aspects I didn't like. I wish they had kept the location much smiliar to what it truly is. The series portrayed it as remote and with no one around in any direction. If you google the Craigflower Bridge in Saanich you will see it's surrounded in 2 directions with lots of people as well as the traffic. When you see how populated the area is it makes it even more shocking that no one heard or saw anything.
The other issue I has was on the portrayal of Manjit. He is a soft spoken man but they portray him more like a pushover and someone who can't speak for himself or his family whon he showed in all interviews that is far from the truth.
The mini series was pretty accurate and and I definitely recommend. When it comes to to a series like this and a review from someone who knew them personally the review could be very good or very bad but I will say I recommend.
One last thing I'll share is my fave memory of Reena. They were Jehovahs Witness so they didn't celebrate holidays. She loved coming over for the holidays and seeing the decorations everywhere. One year on Halloween she was so sad because she had never been trick or treating so I grabbed a pillow case and we went across the street to our neighbours house and she got to trick or treat. She didn't have a costume or even care because in that moment she was truly happy and that's the memories of Reena I will always remember.

Don't waste your time
Love Kat and that's the only reason for 2 stars. Story is ridiculous, Jane Seymour's fake Swedish accent is painful to listen to. What's even more painful is whatever Christine Taylor is doing. When the movie started and I saw Ben stiller was a producer I almost didn't even start the movie. For some reason he decided to put his wife in and give her the dumbest role. Best part of the movie is the fairly lesbian godmothers but that could be because my edible kicked in and that's the only way I was even able to actually watch the whole movie.
Good thing about this movie is it made me look forward to a nice "normal" thanksgiving with my family.
