A Price Above Rubies: A Gem



To enjoy this 1998 movie now on Amazon it is necessary to suspend with a ton of disbelief. You will also have to overlook some unbelievable coincidences. Then you'll be ready to enjoy this gem.

Renee Zellweger is Sonia, a gemologist's daughter, who enters into an arranged marriage with an ultra-Orthodox man living in an insular New York neighborhood. His loves are God and the rabbi with little left for Sonia.

She's suffocating in this ritualistic society where a woman's place is in the home. When her brother-in-law offers her a job in his jewelry business, she grabs it only plunging herself into deeper despair. 

The Movie Slut won't say more, only that you're sure to get hooked and watch till the end.
