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.

Slow Burn but Worth it
This is what we call a "slow burn" type of movie. The premise is that a woman returns for her fathers funeral in a highly restrictive Jewish community that she was shunned from for having relations with another woman. And while home, of course, her and this other woman rekindle what was lost long ago. First of all, Rachel Weisz and Rachel McAdams have absolutely stellar chemistry, some of the best chemistry I have seen on TV ever....regardless of what gender they are. Second, yes there is an explosive sex scene, but it's not the raunchy, nudity filled scenes you see nowadays. It's a very tasteful scene that shows desire and love. And of course, these women again have insane chemistry. There are several stories going on in this movie. One story is this love between these two women. The second story is about this woman living in this Jewish community not being able to be who she really is and forced to marry a man she doesn't love. So you see the struggles she has with that. The third story follows the husband who is dealing with all of this coming to a head and how he handles everything. This is a great movie, slow yes, but still worth it. The acting from the three leads is amazing. The ending....it's probably not what most people wanted, but it's more realistic than just the usual happy ending drivel we get nowadays.
