Audience Member Jewish. Why would I watch this? Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/26/24 Full Review nefasto r I am very interested in Orthodox Jews and their lifestyle, so I watched with pleasure "Fill the Void", a film directed by a a woman converted to that faith. To be honest it is not a great movie, mostly because I found it a bit confusing at the beginning and there are few passages that should have been explored and explained, but at least if feel sincere and honest, and at the end it is a nice portrait of that little universe. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Fill the Void is an enchanting film, well acted, that celebrates the strong bonds which help a family to navigate the pain of death, birth and new beginnings in deep loving ties that bind. Deeply sympathetic to the Hassidic community. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member A breath-taking look into Hasidic Jewish life not often seen by the outside world that is wonderfully photographed and directed. This little gem shines in its heart-tugging dialogue! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member the only thing i didn't like about this movie is a final scene where i would expect some sort of silent dialog, anything that would make me feel less guilty for being happy for their unorthodox "happy end". otherwise it's a beautifully developed story of love, loss, sacrificing, everything life has to offer. there is erotic tension slowly built between two lost people inside the tiny space of a dark apartment they almost don't leave during the movie. different people come in and out, each one has important role in the main characters lives, still there is enough space for everything and everyone, so much drama and so many emotions. even if it's only filling the void, i want all the characters to find happiness. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Rama Burshtein's beautiful film is an insider's insightful look at an Orthodox Hassidic community that had me second-guessing my own thoughts and misconceptions about arranged marriages. It's always great to dive into unknown worlds and different cultures and Burshtein is the perfect guide. She does it with so much respect for what it is ultimately a largely misunderstood and marginalised community. It is not about religion, most definitely not about secularism, but it's about the human heart and as nearly every critic pointed out Jane Austen fans should enjoy it immensely. The cinematography by Asaf Sudri is particularly stunning, to the point I had to pause frames to admire them! A breathtaking debut feature film and hopefully not the last we'll see from Burshtein.
