Eighteen-year-old Shira (Hada Yaron) is the youngest daughter of the family and is about to be married off to a very promising young man of the same age. On Purim, her twenty-eight-year-old sister, Esther (Renana Raz), dies during childbirth, leaving her husband to care for the child and postponing Shira's promised match. When the girls' mother finds out that Yochay may leave the country with her only grandchild, she proposes a match between Shira and the widower, which leaves Shira to choose between her heart's wish and her family's wish to keep the child with them.

Review For Movie Fill the Void
It's an artful, character-driven drama that constitutes a minor miracle of empathy.Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Burshtein creates a one-of-a-kind portrait that nonetheless transcends its setting, and even its worldview; the dynamics are global.
John Anderson-Newsday
Burshtein has achieved a gripping film without victims or villains, an ambiguous tragedy drawing on universal themes of love and loss, self-sacrifice and self-preservation.
Peter Keough-Boston Globe
[Burshtein] vividly depicts a clannish culture that is likely to feel foreign and perhaps off-putting to generations that came of age in a progressive post-feminist era.
Susan Wloszczyna-Chicago Sun-Times
[Burshtein's] subject is a woman's right to choose her spouse, and what a weighty, giddy, confusing, clarifying and, ultimately, sacred choice that is.
Carrie Rickey-Philadelphia Inquirer
There's a clotted and cramped feeling to "Fill the Void" that's downright creepy.
Tom Long-Detroit News
Using the advantage of personal familiarity with an insular religious community of Haredi Jews in Tel Aviv, Rama Burshtein has created a small jewel of a narrative.
Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle
It's the movie's attention to detail that sells it, especially because the humanity of all the characters shines through.
Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Buhrstein, whose assuredness belies the fact that this is her first film, captures this dilemma mainly through Shira's eyes.
Sean Means-Salt Lake Tribune
A frustratingly bland look at the customs of a complex subculture.
Josh Bell-Las Vegas Weekly
The narrative takes place within a reserved, insulated culture where silence is golden, conversations sound like prayers and a single tear can speak volumes.
Duane Dudek-Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
A fascinating, and somewhat frustrating peek into the lives of Israel's ultra-Orthodox Jews, their mating rituals and whatnot.
Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service
Like suffocating beneath a thick layer of protective plastic, Fill the Void feels like slow death.
Katherine Monk-Canada.com
"Fill the Void" is a fairly somber affair, its dourness only interrupted occasionally by moments of beauty or grace.
Marc Mohan-Oregonian
The film is undeniably a celebration of community, but on Shira, one gets the disturbing whiff of Stockholm Syndrome.
Peter Canavese-Groucho Reviews
Director Rama Burshtein's debut is nothing less than astonishing. She's a card-carrying member of Israel's Hared community and, with that experience, has crafted a work of moral complexity and visual artistry

Movie Overview For Fill the Void
Eighteen-year-old Shira is the youngest daughter of the Mendelman family. She is about to be married off to a promising young man of the same age and background. It is a dream come true, and Shira feels prepared and excited. On Purim, her twenty-eight-year-old sister, Esther, dies while giving birth to her first child, Mordechay. The pain and grief that overwhelm the family postpone Shira's promised match. Everything changes when a match is proposed to Yochay-Esther's late husband-to a widow from Belgium. Yochay feels it's too early, although he realizes that sooner or later he must seriously consider getting married again. When the girls' mother finds out that Yochay may marry the widow and move to Belgium with her only grandchild, she proposes a match between Shira and the widower. Shira will have to choose between her heart's wish and her family duty. She will find out that the void which she must choose exists only within her heart.TagLine Fill the Void
