A strong-willed woman in her 30s decides she must get married, so she sets a date and rents a venue. She's an Orthodox Jew and firmly believes that God will provide the right man before the big day. Although the direction has a bright tone, it isn't really a comedy, but an interesting narrative that offers insight into the traditions of her country and her faith. It's full of quiet discussions with the potential candidates about her attributes and her confidence. Noa Koler's performance helps to keep the story interesting. It's not especially energetic, but there's a compelling quality about the character and her convictions that makes it gently appealing. (Hebrew with subtitles)

What starts out as a modestly funny premise begins falling apart about midway through by lapsing into prolonged, talky conversations that lack even moderate laughs and harp on belabored spiritual and philosophical musings. It's unfortunate that the filmmakers didn't tap into the deep veins of humorous potential here, instead choosing to serve up something far less substantial than it could have been. Send your regrets, and skip this one.
