Storyline

The young Orthodox Jew, Motti Wolkenbruch, finds himself at a turning point. His beloved mother wants him to get married and presents one marriage candidate after the other. Unfortunately none of the woman pleases him, because they all look just like her. The situation gets even more complicated, when Motti secretly falls in love with the non-Jewish girl Laura, a so-called Shiksa.

Andrea Gronvall

RTChicago ReaderOct 10, 2018

This Swiss-German romantic comedy delivers on its whimsical title.

Put simply: it's funny, albeit as broad as Mame's bottom.

H

Hannah Brown

RTJerusalem PostNov 15, 2019

The actors are appealing, but the movie is clichéd from start to finish.

S

Shane Slater

RTAwardsCircuit.comNov 11, 2019

Concluding on an unexpectedly ambiguous note, the clichés of the film are thus salvaged by a thoughtfully unorthodox outlook on Orthodox Judaism.
