Fill the Void | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Steeped in tradition, religion and ritual, Fill The Void fills a void in cinema with warmth and insight into the mysteries of love and life.

Almost all of the film's characters are so well-rounded, and their personal and moral nagging so well-defined, that every single shot feels full of life and vitality. Most commendable of all, Burshtein treats her subject with delicacy.

For better or worse, Burshtein elides a specific critique of the religious ideology that has forced Shira into marriage in the first place.

Fill the Void is an astonishing film, a masterful piece of art that feels like the work of an established veteran but is instead the debut of a woman who, like the married women in her film, sees her family as the center of her life.
