Yankele introduces Arik to a new world, built on the ruins of an old one. As Arik begins to learn the mysteries of the human heart through his work with Yankele, he falls in love with Tamara, his friend Beni's cousin. Tamara has just returned from America and is full of talk of women's rights, free love and rock and roll. The disparate parts of Arik's life collide in unexpected, often funny and very moving ways as he lives through a summer that changes him forever. Avi Nesher's latest film mixes comedy with drama as it tells a coming-of-age story unlike any you've ever seen before. -- (C) Official Site Release Date The Matchmaker Jun 29, 2012 Limited

Review For The Matchmaker
The shadow of the Holocaust hangs over this unique Israeli coming-of-age film, which deals with a special kind of survivor's guilt. John Hartl-Seattle Times Nesher ... has a populist touch, showing a sure hand with the numerous subplots and never allowing us to lose sight of his characters' humanity, even the mostly pathetic villain of the piece. Walter V. Addiego-San Francisco Chronicle This is a sweet, bittersweet comedy, well-executed if perhaps a little heavy on anecdotage. Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times A different kind of coming-of-age story, one infused with the lingering horrors of the Holocaust. Bill Goodykoontz-Arizona Republic A movie that's somehow delightful even as it visits devastation. Tom Long-Detroit News The film intelligently portrays how, even years later, the memories of trauma can be enough to inhibit a person from finding happiness - and consequently, how essential love is. Joel Arnold-NPR At heart an unexpectedly complex film about love, but also an examination of Israel in flux, a country with one foot in the past and another in the future - a weight that may never fully vacate Israeli shoulders. Mark Zhuravsky-The Playlist Contains an undercurrent of real menace, not just candy nostalgia. Kelly Vance-East Bay Express The Matchmaker is to fine drama what gefilte fish is to lox. Hold the cream cheese. Brandon Judell-CultureCatch Though aided by beautiful views of Haifa, some amusing entertainment, and flashes of poignancy, the appeal is mostly heavily laden, cross-generational nostalgia. Nora Lee Mandel-Film-Forward.com Feels like Nesher is simply mashing several stock elements together and gracelessly parading them around. David Fear-Time Out New York The film ultimately fails to treat history as anything but a string of melodramatic reference points for moody characters haplessly trying to find love. Glenn Heath Jr.-Slant Magazine A delightful, subtle Israeli coming-of-age comedy-drama. Harvey S. Karten-Compuserve Points to Nesher for maintaining an even balance between the darker and lighter shades of his palette, not to mention the subtlety with which he moves from one to the other. Michael Nordine-L.A. Weekly A fascinating Euro-Israeli rite of passage story...See this. James Verniere-Boston Herald The jokes come naturally and frequently, but the film also haunts with unexpected potency... Miles Howard-Boston Phoenix
