Fill the Void Movie Review | |
| [Burshtein] vividly depicts a clannish culture that is likely to feel foreign and perhaps off-putting to generations that came of age in a progressive post-feminist era. Susan Wloszczyna-Chicago Sun-Times [Burshtein's] subject is a woman's right to choose her spouse, and what a weighty, giddy, confusing, clarifying and, ultimately, sacred choice that is. Carrie Rickey-Philadelphia Inquirer There's a clotted and cramped feeling to "Fill the Void" that's downright creepy. Tom Long-Detroit News A sympathetic, layered portrayal, rich with detail, that earns its more complex and resonant conclusion. Nell Minow-Chicago Sun-Times A moody, exquisitely told tale of love and duty. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune None of the religious rituals feels particularly spiritual, and even the nominally happy ending fails to alleviate the oppressive tone. Ben Sachs-Chicago Reader Director Rama Burshtein's debut is nothing less than astonishing. She's a card-carrying member of Israel's Hared community and, with that experience, has crafted a work of moral complexity and visual artistry Chris Chang-Film Comment Magazine I suspect Burshtein achieved what she set out to do with "Fill the Void," but I found it repetitive and frustrating. Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press Articulates this society's constant urgency and claustrophobic decisions. Matt Pais-RedEye Will they or won't they? Burshtein draws out emotional communication by secular actors, setting them amidst extras from the Orthodox community for convincing mise en scène. Nora Lee Mandel-Film-Forward.com an exquisite, poetic film that is full of both the joy of life, even in grief, and in the fact that life inevitably goes on Andrea Chase-Killer Movie Reviews 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.
