A precious Israeli Magnolia meets You and Me and Everyone We Know. A story of intersecting lives that is too caught up in its own narrative symmetry and quirky magical realism to invest the drama with the necessary heft. Fails to explore its ideas beyond superficial statements about struggling to please seemingly unpleasable people. Also spends quite a lot of time making people seem one-dimensional and thus easy villains for the more sympathetic protagonists, but then at the end shows them doing something nice and expects us to suddenly go "aww, they are real people after all!" No thanks.
Wish I had more to say about this movie, but I felt nothing through the whole showing except severe apathy and a constant need to check the clock to see if it was almost over.
