ARRANGED centers on the friendship between an Orthodox Jewish woman and a Muslim woman who meet as first-year teachers at a public school in Brooklyn. Over the course of the year they learn they share much in common - not least of which is that they are both going through the process of arranged marriages.
Acting
Lister-Jones and Benhamou's chemistry feels discovered, not performed.
Writing
Dialogue that trusts silence; no hand-holding, no villainizing tradition.
