Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Kadosh
A beautifully realized and sensitive drama, Amos Gitai's controversial "Kadosh" observes a little-seen religious community where women's roles are severely restricted to child-bearing and strict obedience to their husbands. Love is both triumphant and tragic in Gitai's story, the ultimate cause of dark disruptions. Abecassis and Hattab inhabit their roles with deep feeling, making us believe in their mutual respect and reverence for tradition. Barda is also wonderful as the younger woman whose need ...

Rating: - Ghosts
Rivka (Yaël Abecassis), Meir (Yoram Hattab) and Malka (Meital Barda) walk through the frames of Amos Gitai's "Kadosh" as if they were ghosts: human beings without a physical presence, without a solid place on which to land their phosphorescent bodies, souls and hearts. Their haunting unhappiness with their lot in life makes them transparent. You can see their hearts slowly break as they go about the business of life.
Set in the ultra-Orthodox quarter of Jerusalem called Mea Shearim, "Kadosh" ... Read More
Rating:  - Disgusted
First off, it was a bad movie-- scenes were too long, little character introduction, development, etc.
However, I am writing to express my disgust and devastation at a very different issue: Jewish Orthodoxy. Let's just start by saying that there were many, many unimportant details of Jewish Law that the Producer/Director royally messed up. If they weren't even familiar with laws such as the opening scene of waking-up rituals, then how much more so would they be prone to fallacy in their ... Read More
Rating: - heart breaker
I just saw this movie tonight. All I can tell you is it was a heart breaker. Rivka and Meir had a loving marriage until the Rabbi ruined it. Malka was doomed from the start. Her husband was a disgusting, frightening, sick man. The wedding night scene was a nightmare for Malka. This man was an animal. Absolutely an uncaring lover. He never heard of the word foreplay? Guess not. He was extremely rough on their first time lovemaking. (she was a virgin) It turned my stomach. The ending will definitely ... Read More
Rating:  - What Is Truly Sacred? Let the Viewer Decide ...
Amos Gitai sheds light on how stifling and confining it may be for some women living within a Hasidic religious community. It looks nearly impossible for them to live fulfilling and joyous lives. The film has a universal message which can apply to any religion or community which influences and advises its members in personal life matters that are, in this viewer's opinion, best left to be determined for one's self. In this film, two sisters lose their self-determination and are sadly compelled to follow the norms ... Read More
