Alain E We know that women generally don’t get a break, but in traditional Jewish law apparently they face unique challenges. Given that the action is limited inside a courtroom that follows regulations unknown to a foreign audience, this is surprisingly watchable. I felt that about twenty minutes in the second half dragged too long. Superb performance as the wife, by Romit Elkabetz who is also one of the two directors. Simon Abkarian bravely interprets the a-hole husband, knowing that 99,9% of the audience will dislike him. If you hate feminists, this is a fairy tale for the ages.

On the other hand, as the husband's supporters pointed out, he was a good guy and she could have appreciated that and not wanted divorce in first place. To some of the other reviews... it works both ways... the husband can't demand divorce either without proper justification. Neither party can.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member I wasn't sure I wanted to watch this movie, the premise I thought would bore me, but I'm really glad I took a chance. What an interesting movie, very well acted, and tragic. This movie depicts how many women are still second class citizens in many countries, and this movie does a great job of showing what that means in real life, without trying to make a point. Check this movie out if you get a chance. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Oh my God. Torture. Sheer torture. I would rather gouge my eyeballs out and watch them get eaten by wolves. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review nefasto r Not an easy film. Entirely shot inside a court room you will feel trapped, but I imagine that was the feeling the director was going for. Nothing compared to the ordeal the poor Viviane has to go through though, so we still get the good part of the deal here. What does it matter is that at the end, ·"GETT" is good and powerful, and deserves to be seen. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
