Review of Ushpizin

Ushpizin (2004)
10/10
More than a movie of faith it is a lesson in endurance and tolerance

Normally, I am not a big fan of Israeli movies. Often, they embody poor acting and poorer directing.

This movie was a definite exception.

Everything was real. It is pure acting throughout the movie (no special fx to cover up bad acting or a bad plot).

The characters are believable (because for the most part they are acting their actual lives out in front of the big screen - which in itself is problematic but not here).

The end was fairly predictable but what made it so special was the humor mixed in with sadness and anger in the scenes leading up to the climax.
