Fill the Void Movie Review | |
| I left Fill the Void feeling privileged, however briefly, to have been brought into this world. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor Burshtein's cinematic experience has more than honed her quietly effective and inherently dramatic filmmaking style, it's deepened her gift for emotional honesty, for knowing the truth of a situation and how to convey it to an audience. Kenneth Turan-Los Angeles Times Both accessible and thrilling. A.O. Scott-New York Times A love poem to the ultra-Orthodox world as seen from within. Ella Taylor-NPR Practically an ethnographic film Jordan Hoffman-Film.com Trouble is, while the social milieu is nicely realized, other parts of the drama are not. Too often Burshtein cuts off a scene prematurely, darting away just as the crucial moment of emotion or confrontation appears. Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post To fill the void, means to simultaneously gain and lose. For Shira, she is keeping her family together at the cost of her own ambitions. It's a kind of self-sacrifice not seen in American films. Burshtein captures these delicate moments brilliantly. Monica Castillo-Paste Magazine Take it on its own terms, as a compelling emotional drama about an impossible situation. Marshall Fine-Hollywood & Fine a subtle, elegant movie that brings us into the structured world of Tel Aviv's ultra-Orthodox Hasidic community to show how one young woman navigates the demands of her religion and her family's expectations without losing herself in the process. Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews Tonally, the film awkwardly straddles fluffy comedy and grief-stricken melodrama, hopping from one mode to other scene to scene. Oliver Lyttelton-The Playlist A lesser filmmaker would have condescended to this world, but Rama Burshtein, an Orthodox woman herself, treats it with abiding respect. Her movie is a masterpiece. Robert Levin-amNewYork Not exactly a Hasidic musical but close to it, the film delves into the complicated culture of Orthodox Jewish arranged marriages. And so to speak, a case of perhaps multiple choice matrimonial options managed in many ways by mom. Prairie Miller-WBAI Radio [Burshtein has] reinvigorated a familiar narrative by painting it against an unfamiliar backdrop. A.A. Dowd-AV Club A terrifically layered film that really leaves you thinking and wanting to talk about what you've just watched afterwards Edward Douglas-ComingSoon.net Israel's official submission for Oscar's 2012 Best Foreign Language Film is a stunning melodrama centered on an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community and prospects for a tragedy-fueled arranged marriage between a teen and older man. Doris Toumarkine-Film Journal International A dreary, tiresome dirge about passion and dis-passion, if memorably performed by impressive lead Hadas Yaron. Shaun Munro-What Culture The film unfolds in unhurried dramatic terms that come to take on an almost fatalistic force. Andrew Schenker-Slant Magazine | |
