This is a delightful and thoughtful comedy.
Two supposedly diametrically opposed worlds meet in Rochel (Zoe Lister-Jones) an orthodox Jew and Nasira (Francis Benhamou) a Muslim.
Both woman are teachers who find that as they both have to find their husbands through the arranged marriage process they have more in common with each other than the secular world.
The delight is that is is a pretty straight-up great romantic comedy - Rochel keeps being set up with the wrong guys, Nasira gets the embarrassing dinner etc; of course, the road to true love is not smooth...
It really is very funny, witty - and well acted, especially Francis Benhamou as Nasira, who is stunning and positively lights up the screen with her smile.
Just a lovely film that deserves all the play it can get, and definitely deserves to be seen by anyone who loves romantic comedies.
Warmly recommended.
