Leave your thoughts about The Wedding Plan.
| San Francisco ChronicleG. Allen JohnsonA complex rumination on the nature of true love and how it evolves. It is also a film rooted in Orthodox Jewish faith. |
| The Young FolksEli FineIt's a film that has the plot of a 90s romantic comedy but the weight and assurance of a Coen Brothers' classic... Burshtein has cemented her status as a filmmaker international audiences should have their eyes on. |
| Boston GlobePeter KeoughConsider it the PG-rated, Hassidic version of “Bridesmaids” (2011), and like that movie the comedy is rooted in pain, eroding hope, and triumphant faith. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordNoa Koler gives Michal full depth of character and you root for her, despite herself. |
| Georgia StraightKen EisnerClever writing and empathic connections between actors make up for logical deficiencies. |
| NOW TorontoGlenn SumiThis is no typical rom-com, however. There's genuine heartbreak and despair beneath the surface, and Koler is an extraordinary actor, letting emotions wash over her face in a completely authentic way. |
| Globe and MailBrad WheelerAn offbeat-but-poignant Israeli rom-com from Rama Burshtein, the writer-director responsible for the 2012 melodrama Fill the Void. |
| RogerEbert.comSusan WloszczynaThe Wedding Plan feels less like “My Big Fat Jewish Nuptials” and more of a faith-based variation on a Disney princess fantasy. Instead of a fairy godmother, God himself will find her Mr. Right. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonThere's a fresh approach to familiar material that drives this modest Israeli romantic comedy, even if the overall impact is forgettable. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinAt its heart, the film is a kind of mystical fairy tale whose messages of belief, endurance, family and belonging transcend its memorably specific people and setting. |
