I don't know how Shira could say this was a "sweet" film.
Since TERMS of ENDEARMENT,(Debra Winger, Shirley MacLaine, John Lithgow), I have not cried so much. While it was a beautifully crafted film, the heavy-handed tension while awaiting each character's "trouble" was too much for me.
The scenery of Haifa and the school scenes were high points. I'm sure that if the extreme dysfunction was tempered, this would have been a terrific movie.
At any rate, I was glad that the Israelis are making films that reach our shores. I look forward to learning more about this young film-maker.
