As it started out, I
had high hopes for this Israeli film. Set in the strict Orthodox community, I
thought this would be a ground-breaking movie that would show what it was like
to be gay and Orthodox.
And as it continued, I
hoped that Aaron, the protagonist, would find the strength to stand up for
Ezri, his beloved, and to ensure that they could be together.
Unfortunately, as is
typical for LGBTQ books and films, this didn’t happen. I won’t spoil it for
you, but I was so disappointed by the film. I felt the director chickened out
and didn’t go deep enough into the subject.
