Movie Haiku:Young Jewish matron (Hahn) who appears to have everything questions her choices & wonders how to make a good life for her family... & herself. Like the run of SIX FEET UNDER (during which writer/director Soloway was a core team member), film takes some unexpectedly dark turns to rare & heartfelt places. Plenty of laughs but also some tears. Brilliant first feature. BRAVA!
