Nora's Will

“Nora’s Will” is a Spanish film (with English titles) and tells the story of a Jewish Mexican family faced with some difficult and awkward occurrences at, before and after a Passover Seder. Beautifully written and acted by some really terrific players and writers, the film, though seemingly slow moving at times, keeps its own independent pace as it takes us into the lives of the subject family with sensitivity and caring. An interesting look at the ethnic culture of Mexican Jews and the rituals they are obligated to adhere to and follow, the film is as informative as it is entertaining. I give the film 3 stars and urge viewers of all persuasions to see it.
