“Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalem”

My Rating: 3.91/4

One line summary: A Jewish woman from religious roots desperately seeks a divorce from her husband.

The Deets: The word “gett” in Hebrew refers to the document for a divorce. In Jewish tradition, a divorce is a literal un-doing of a marriage, and the husband must grant this permission to his wife. That context sets the stage for this powerhouse of a film, which feels more like a theatre piece, but you cannot look away – and it may stir up all kinds of emotion.

Perfect for: If you’re ready to buckle up for an intense drama.

Where to watch: It’s on Prime, yo.
