This isn't the most frightening or exciting option. I would even hesitate to call it horror or suspense. It is, rather, a drama in which the characters are facing the horrifying. This is in a camp of a new (to me) subgenre of horror: folk horror. Horror that is based on folklore, tradition, myth, superstition, whatever you want to call it, OTHER than Christianity. Everything from the themes to the behavior to the nature of the horror itself is unfamiliar and exciting. Stories that have been sidelined for much of mainstream cinematic history finally having their say. If you're sick of possession horror movies and bible-thumping exorcists, and you want more than cheap thrills and jump scares, try this. Horror is the clearest window into a culture that there is, and if you are excited or intrigued to learn and see new approaches, this is worth your time. If, on the other hand, you want a fun, butt-clenching popcorn flick, go elsewhere. Those movies are fantastic too, but this will bore you. And if you need excitement with your intrigue and interesting story, you may wish to give this a pass as well.

A slow burn Jewish folklore romance thriller with horror aspects, did I get it right? Haha This movie was good. Not very scary but pretty thrilling throughout. Don't go into this thinking you're going to get a full blown horror, much more of a thriller/drama. It stayed pretty dark and atmospheric once it got going but I wish we could've cut some of the first half and gotten to the meat of the creepiness quicker... because once it got there, it was quite cool. A huge positive for this one was the acting. Everyone did a pretty excellent job and worked really well as an ensemble. Props to the actors in the casting Director. I also enjoyed seeing a queer couple juxtaposed with a religious scenario and the whole plot not revolving around the fact that they were queer. It was refreshing to see it as normalized and not the focal point. Overall, this was an entertaining film... pace could have been picked up and some of the filler trimmed but I stayed engaged and intrigued throughout. 6.5 rounding down to a 6, would recommend.

Unfortunately for European and , probably , world cinema too , but the cheap thrills for brainless modern society :Hollywood style reached and influenced , even the far out little Nordic countries ... Seems , that instead a good story , acting , imagination and direction , this days you just need a lesbian ( Jewish at that))) , story of a classic Exorcist , mix it all together in a boring and lazy way , and voila !: instant churned out " horror " ... And the sad fact is , that considering , that most of the people , will be just afraid to dislike this film ( PC rules ) , here is another good for nothing offering with abnormally decent rating ... 3 stars , just because , I managed to watch it to the end...

This slow-burn possession horror film is a bit too slow in my opinion. I was completely engaged in the story and the characters up to a certain point, and I can appreciate that the love story is between two 30 something lesbians suffering typical Millennial problems of aimlessness or living with one's parents - there's a lot going on here which seems to be completely metaphorical. Chana the mother character was amazing, the actress deserves some kind of award for how smoothly she pulled off her role in secrecy. But ultimately by the last twenty minutes or so I really wanted to fast forward through the predictable climax. Good lord that poor cat lady.

A lesbian artist struggles with her Jewish girlfriend's mental issues and over-involved and mother. I counted 4 languages, so nearly everyone that watches will need subtitles. The pacing is slowwwwwww. Almost too slow. But, once the actual plot is finally revealed, it is an engaging movie. No great film ever made you wait an hour to explain what you were watching, so the pacing definitely diminishes the film. It could have been a little sexier. There were a couple of very hot & realistic sex scenes that both stopped abruptly. Not cool. But, there are many scenes of Josephine Park in her panties. The reason we put sex scenes and gratuitous nudity into these type of films is so that they "stand out". Again, this is a fine film - but it wasn't courageous enough to contain anything "outstanding".
