Filmed with style and acted beautifully. I watched this in a group.
One thing that struck us: people are constantly asking each other what they want. In the first interview with the marriage broker, the older woman pushes and pushes the central character to say what she wants.
The girl replies: I want to invite people round instead of always being invited, I want the respect that comes with being called Mrs, I want status, I want security, I don't want to be alone.
Back in my day (the 70s) you'd practically be ostracised for saying such things. So I was thrilled to hear somebody say them.
As her sisters chip in, a friend said: "Here come the Job's comforters with the wrong advice!" Again, how like life.
Michal's quest is discussed endlessly. What should she do? How should she approach it? What mindset should she adopt? It all boils down to: "Believe!" As another friend commented, it's all rather New Agey.
PS It ends happily. What did you expect?
