Tweed pressed, best vest

Laavor et hakir (The wedding plan)

Crit
What a silly, lazy-Hollywood-flick premise this is: her engagement ends, but she goes ahead making plans for the wedding, needing only to snag a groom by Hanukkah. In fact, there will doubtless be a lazy Hollywood remake of this, but accept no substitutes: this is a moving film about faith, doubt, and desperation. Any film that can make me feel the tug of religious orthodoxy, even Orthodoxy, is doing something special. A gem.
