Movie Overview For Fill the Void
Eighteen-year-old Shira is the youngest daughter of the Mendelman family. She is about to be married off to a promising young man of the same age and background. It is a dream come true, and Shira feels prepared and excited. On Purim, her twenty-eight-year-old sister, Esther, dies while giving birth to her first child, Mordechay. The pain and grief that overwhelm the family postpone Shira's promised match. Everything changes when a match is proposed to Yochay-Esther's late husband-to a widow from Belgium. Yochay feels it's too early, although he realizes that sooner or later he must seriously consider getting married again. When the girls' mother finds out that Yochay may marry the widow and move to Belgium with her only grandchild, she proposes a match between Shira and the widower. Shira will have to choose between her heart's wish and her family duty. She will find out that the void which she must choose exists only within her heart.TagLine Fill the Void

Review For Fill the Void
Burshtein creates a one-of-a-kind portrait that nonetheless transcends its setting, and even its worldview; the dynamics are global.John Anderson-Newsday
Burshtein has achieved a gripping film without victims or villains, an ambiguous tragedy drawing on universal themes of love and loss, self-sacrifice and self-preservation.
Peter Keough-Boston Globe
[Burshtein] vividly depicts a clannish culture that is likely to feel foreign and perhaps off-putting to generations that came of age in a progressive post-feminist era.
Susan Wloszczyna-Chicago Sun-Times
[Burshtein's] subject is a woman's right to choose her spouse, and what a weighty, giddy, confusing, clarifying and, ultimately, sacred choice that is.
Carrie Rickey-Philadelphia Inquirer
There's a clotted and cramped feeling to "Fill the Void" that's downright creepy.
Tom Long-Detroit News
A sympathetic, layered portrayal, rich with detail, that earns its more complex and resonant conclusion.
Nell Minow-Chicago Sun-Times
A fascinating, and somewhat frustrating peek into the lives of Israel's ultra-Orthodox Jews, their mating rituals and whatnot.
Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service
Like suffocating beneath a thick layer of protective plastic, Fill the Void feels like slow death.
Katherine Monk-Canada.com
"Fill the Void" is a fairly somber affair, its dourness only interrupted occasionally by moments of beauty or grace.
Marc Mohan-Oregonian
The film is undeniably a celebration of community, but on Shira, one gets the disturbing whiff of Stockholm Syndrome.
Peter Canavese-Groucho Reviews
Director Rama Burshtein's debut is nothing less than astonishing. She's a card-carrying member of Israel's Hared community and, with that experience, has crafted a work of moral complexity and visual artistry
Chris Chang-Film Comment Magazine
I suspect Burshtein achieved what she set out to do with "Fill the Void," but I found it repetitive and frustrating.
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press
Articulates this society's constant urgency and claustrophobic decisions.
Matt Pais-RedEye
Will they or won't they? Burshtein draws out emotional communication by secular actors, setting them amidst extras from the Orthodox community for convincing mise en scène.
Nora Lee Mandel-Film-Forward.com
an exquisite, poetic film that is full of both the joy of life, even in grief, and in the fact that life inevitably goes on
Andrea Chase-Killer Movie Reviews
To fill the void, means to simultaneously gain and lose. For Shira, she is keeping her family together at the cost of her own ambitions. It's a kind of self-sacrifice not seen in American films. Burshtein captures these delicate moments brilliantly.
