This movie could have been edited down and edited better. I kept checking the progress bar to see if I was anywhere near the end. No one was really a compelling character, & although the story line wasn't too bad, it could have been tweaked to be better. Some of the scenes didn't make sense. I didn't see this as a comedy at all.
Who the heck is the severely disabled woman in the chair, and how does she play into the story line? It's a mystery!
The part before the absolute ending is confusing. There sits the bride, beautiful, waiting for the groom to show up, her hair is lovely, makeup done, dress is gorgeous...then love is professed to her....but you don't actually see the wedding. Instead we get that she is very hungry and might be hallucinating because she's been fasting.
But wait!!! At the very very very last scene--the absolute ending-- you see her with all her hair tucked under a tichel (?), which is what *married* Haredi women wear, but she has flat affect. Not everyone is culturally aware about when a tichel is worn, so the viewer is likely to be puzzled about that last camera shot of her. Two of my friends asked "what does THAT mean?" I feel I have a headache coming on after having wasted my time watching this. Of course, YMMV.
