Courtesy of Toronto International Film Festival Opposites attract -- very slowly Toronto Film Festival (Contemporary World Cinema); San Sebastian Film Festival (Competition) Hadas Yaron, Matin Dubreuil, Luzer Twersky Maxime Giroux A married Hasidic woman and a single and penniless man in early middle age who has just lost his very rich father slowly -- very slowly -- fall for each other in Felix and Meira (Felix et Meira), from French-Canadian director Maxime Giroux. Like the directors previous feature, Jo for Jonathan, this is a minutely observed story of great modesty that thrives on transformations so tiny, the film deserves to be seen on the big screen. However, beyond local and festival engagements, this unspectacular story of the forbidden attraction between a very patient man and a reticent woman will be very hard to market

From a time when the first Hasidic Jew rapper/reggae master came into the music scene in traditional Hasidic garb, long beard, broad brimmed hat over a yarmulke singing of general positivity and occasionally praising his Jewish faith, some things have changed a bit. He's changed up his attire, shaved his beard at a time when beards are fashionably rocked by all you masculine chaps, but his music remains a shining light in a time when the world seems to be heading into darkness. Now the last thing I want to do here is make this into a political piece, but for me Matisyahu's music has always brimmed with peace, love and fun jams that are often awe inspiring.

LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) - Felix, a middle-aged atheist adrift without family ties, and Meira, a young Hasidic woman feeling lost and smothered under nearly the opposite circumstances, find tentative connection in one another in Canadian helmer Maxime Giroux's somberly seductive "Felix and Meira." Though set in present-day Montreal, this tender romance unfolds like an episode from another century, paying the sort of careful attention to social boundaries you'd expect to find in a classic forbidden-love novel. While neither Meira's arc nor her Orthodox Jewish environment constitutes especially new territory, the pic distinguishes itself through its subtlety and sensitivity, offering quiet reflection for festival and arthouse auds. The latest in a small run of films with narrative ties to the Hasidic community, "Felix and Meira" suggests that its characters would be happier if given more freedom and fewer restrictions -- as John Turturro's "Fading Gigolo" playfully demonstrated earlier this year
