Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThroughout the movie Esti Kuperman (Rachel McAdams) is shown wearing a wig. This wig is called a sheitel and is worn by some Orthodox Jewish married women in order to conform with the requirement of Jewish law to cover their hair.
- GoofsIn the scene where there are prayers in the house of mourning ("Shiva") the men and women are seen as intermingling. However, in a very orthodox Shiva service there would be complete separation of the genders - indeed, in a small house, such as the one depicted, they would be in separate rooms.
- Quotes
Ronit Krushka: Esti, do you think I should go back early?
Esti Kuperman: No... no. No, I don't think you should leave at all.

Featured review
Rewrite and a new Editor
I really wanted to love this movie. Some parts I enjoyed but was repeatedly taken out of the narrative by filmmaker choices.
The editing left much to be desired-scenes are awkwardly edited where you can see it's a different take of the same scene. Many of the edits simply appeared ham-handed and amateur.
Continuity also seems an issue; the progress of the story is chunked out, like skipping around chapters in a book. The screenplay lacks the dialog which would convey the depth of the story and it's characters.
The actors are quite good but not able to fill all the missing bits of good filmmaking. The score was musically fine but seems to have been written for a different movie. The pacing too, is slow and awkward like much of this film.
The Rachels handled what little they had to work with well. The sex scene was interesting and respectfully shot but again, the editing sucked all the life out of this love story.
Though I think this film was a missed opportunity, the potential for a well-written and directed sequel could fix what didn't work in this outing.
I really wanted to like it but kinda didn't.
