The movie centers around the decision of one Haredi (commonly called
ultra-orthodox ) Israeli Jewish thirty-something woman's decision of
if/when/whom to marry. She has been having trouble finding just the
right person for herself, partly because of the men she has been
meeting but partly because she is an unconventional woman in a number
of ways. When her engagement is broken off , she has an unusual
reaction which is the linchpin for the rest of the movie including an
ending which may be surprising to some.
The movie was billed as a romantic comedy; there are indeed plenty of
humorous moments, but I think it's real attraction is the issues it
raises about the process of deciding to get married, what one is
looking for and how it can be related to issues of faith. And although
it involves the Haredi Jewish world, I think the insights and themes
apply to other cultures as well , while at the same time the movie
provides an entertaining window into the Haredi world.
The movie is very well directed and acted and went by quickly.
Contraryto another review posted here, the audience I saw it clapped
heartily at the end and lingered afterwards. Recommended.
