In terms of themes, tone, and intensity, Gett most closely compares to Asghar Farhadi's A Separation--both are seamlessly exhausting viewing experiences.

Ronit and Shlomi Elkabetz, who based this trilogy loosely on their own family history, have managed to illuminate the humanity in the characters and turn what could be a preachy, issue-oriented movie into a moving film.

The movie's not entirely grim-there are colorful supporting characters and moments of comedy-but the experience is absolutely nerve-wracking... Given the film's political nature, that's as it should be-Gett is meant to agitate, not gratify.

Ultimately the movie is wearying, but then it's likely supposed to be. If Viviane's going through the wringer, you're going through the wringer too.

Stand out roles include Menashe Noy, who plays Amsalem's lawyer, and Sasson Gabai, who plays Elisha's lawyer and brother. However, it is Elkabetz's performance that carries the film.

It's tough and unsparing, but the grimness is never gratuitous.

A serious and sometimes humorous and even compassionate consideration of spousal responsibility.
