Using Orthodox Judaism as a jumping off point for a larger conversation about broader societal issues, Emil Ben-Shimon’s dramedy The Women’s Balcony takes on a specific religious and cultural viewpoint to spin a politically loaded, deceptively secular yarn. On a passing scan, The Women’s Balcony might seem to be about a battle between organized religious tradition and modern sexual equality, but the film’s gently unfolding narrative turns out to be a treatise against cults of personality in any and all forms. It’s also highly entertaining, occasionally laugh out loud funny, and one of the most unassuming surprises of the summer.
