Ushpizin: This is a really interesting Israeli film about a haredi couple in Jerusalem who don't have enough money to build a sukkah. They are not "frum from birth," but have a past to deal with and the husband, Moshe, finds himself with a guest from his old days. The movie was fascinating from a cultural aspect--seeing this aspect of ultra-Orthodox life. It's definitely a movie about faith and people's ability to change and the ending was moving. The characters are very likable and the whole movie has a sort of Yiddish folk tale-feel to it. I'd recommend to anyone interested in Israeli/Jewish film.
