When do we eat is spectacular. I left this movie immediately wanting to see it again. The film takes you on an intense journey of a family coming together for passover. At first, family members treat each other as always, bickering and not truly communicating. With the help of some touch g-d ecstasy, the family moves from moments of raw truths to warm conciliations to absolute hilarity. What I loved most about this movie were the layers of what was happening at the same time. Characters evolved, forgiving each other and coming to terms with their own demons. Spiritual questions were raised in the context of Judaism, but which apply to any religion. Outlandishly funny moments kept everyone laughing at just the right time. I wish more movies were made like this.
