Gett has a very slow build, which may feel even longer for audiences that have followed the Viviane Amsalem trilogy, which began with 2004's To Take a Wife followed by 2008's 7 Days. After a lukewarm marriage of over twenty years, the weary 45-year-old Israeli Viviane Amsalem requests a divorce in front of a court from her overbearing devout husband Elisha or a "gett", a legal divorce document according to Jewish Law. Which says she can commit adultery legitimately For this reason, the loyal wife will appeal to her husband Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalem. Viviane has been applying for divorce for three years. But her husband Elisha will not agree. His cold intransigence, her determination to fight for her freedom, and the ambiguous role of the judges shape a procedure in which tragedy vies with absurdity, and everything is brought out for judgment. With "Gett, the Trial of Viviane Amsalem," siblings Ronit and Shlomi Elkabetz prove that they rank with the finest filmmakers alive. Every shot, cut, line, performance, indeed every moment in this feature is perfectly judged, always conveying precisely what it needs to convey in order to define its characters and move the story forward.
