Laavor et HaKir (2016)
disappointing
I had loved the director's previous film, Fill The Void, and was eager to see this follow-up, which also featured an Orthodox protagonist facing an unusual marriage situation. The film was neither very dramatic, nor comedic, and, unlike Fill The Void, totally lacked a believable premise or plot. No problem with the acting, but I felt the screenplay was seriously lacking. So much overwrought angst! The male suitors were either pretty faces or obviously tainted; none had any character development. Some serious editing problems and mistakes seemed to leave me, and other members of the audience I talked with, baffled over certain actions and plot machinations.
By the end, I felt let down by this film. The movie plan was as thin as the wedding plan.
