Tikkun
First screened in October 2015
Director: Amishav Sivan. Cast: Aharon Traitel, Khalifa Natour, Gur Sheinberg, Riki Blich, Omri Fuhrer. Screenplay: Amishav Sivan.

Twitter Capsule: I respected this film and enjoyed being pushed by it. Son's crisis of worldly curiosity. Father's miracle recast as ordeal.

VOR:   Honors the Crisis of Faith template you expect from a festival film about Orthodox Judaism. But in story, pacing, and imagery, the risks never stop.
