Reviews for this film from our members:
- Nicholas Bell @ Ioncinema
- Kevin Carr @ 7M Pictures
- Excerpt: Often compared to “A Separation,” both by the audience and the filmmakers themselves, “Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalam” is a more intimate drama as well as a harsher one. We see a woman imprisoned in her own marriage, and even though there is no direct reason why she needs the divorce (like adultery or abuse), she is unable to have her own goals realized.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Sibling writer/directors Ronit & Shlomi Elkabetz turn a spotlight on an Israeli women’s rights issue using drama, comedy and farce in a stylized courtroom procedural like no other.
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: The power of the film’s critique is in the overall sensation of a claustrophobic, seemingly endless, and Kafkaesque nightmare from which no one can escape because of its circular logic.
- James Jay Edwards @ FilmFracture
- Excerpt: Gett: The Trial Of Viviane Amsalem’ Is Not Just Another Standard Courtroom Drama

- Excerpt: Embattled and infuriating, it epitomizes the concept of male entitlement.
