4/10
Pointless and contrived

Warning: Spoilers
Felix & Meira is the monotonous story of a dreary Meira, stuck in an Orthodox Judaism marriage. She meets the equally dreary Félix, who hasn't spoken to his father in ten years and appears magically at his deathbed. He scores some money at the inheritance, thanks to his equally dreary sister. One day he meets Meira and thus starts the dreary "love".

The premise itself is so absurd, yet the execution is even more unbelievable. Soon the husband finds out and pushes the Felix away, but he can't stop this "love". He follows her and yearns for her. Both of them are drudgingly boring people, so they attract like flies to raw meat.

One unintentionally hilarious scene has Felix in the garb dress of an Orthodox Jew, complete with a beard and curls. I guess the local magic shop has some great Jewish outfits and he can just walk into some Jewish Tabernacle without being noticed by the locals. I thought I was watching some spy flick.

The ending didn't clarify anything at all, and it was all so pointless and contrived.
