Both seemed pretty selfish. Seemed like Weisz's character really only came back because she hoped to get her father's money. Her attitude was that she was better than everyone else. And McAdams character only seemed to care about herself and her own wishes.
shareThat's what makes them three dimensional characters and the more human. They are flawed like we all are, no one can be likeable all the time. Anyone who says they are aren't been truthful.
Ronit (Rachel Weisz) had every right to be angry. Her community and her own father disowned her cause of her sexuality. No one wanted to tell her father was ill and she only was told cause Esti got in touch. Her father cut her out of his will, shocking as she was his only child. She's clearly not welcome even though they say "Wish You A Happy Long Life" you know damn well they don't. She rightly has a chip on her shoulder.
Esti (Rachel McAdams) is in a loveless marriage with a childhood friend (she respects and cares for her husband) after been pressured by Ronit's father to marry to clear her of her "Ills". She clearly didn't put her own wishes ahead of herself. She saw her true love leave for New York and she had a nervous breakdown it seems. She's a lesbian forcing herself to be straight, that would grind away at any person.
The Only thing I didn't like about them is the cheating, Esti could have broken up with Dovid and then acted on her feelings. Esti is the one who makes the first move on Ronit not the other way round. But it's clear they both have loved each other since their childhood and Dovid was the third basically.
