Movie Haiku:Israeli film set in the early 80’s when Orthodox families first built settlements in the West Bank. Eshet plays a well-connected widow. Dayan’s the organizer of a settlement who pressures her to conform in order to be accepted. Meanwhile the bullying endured by her teenage daughter is even more overt.***** For more, see the “Columns” section for Jan’s WJD review.
