The choice

About This Movie

So, 'The Choice' from 2020 has this really gritty vibe, you know? It dives into Ofri's pretty tough life with her mother’s partner Avi, who’s a real piece of work. The comedy elements feel somewhat out of place given the heavy themes—it's a mix that keeps you on your toes. The pacing is kind of uneven, swinging between light-hearted music scenes and darker moments that hit hard. There’s something about how they handle the practical effects in certain scenes that adds a raw layer to the storytelling. The performances are genuine, especially Ofri’s, who carries a lot of emotional weight. It’s definitely a film that plays with contrasts, making you think beyond just the surface.
