AJFF: "My Lovely Sister" (***1/2)

Moshe Ivgy and Evelin Hagoel star in "My Lovely Sister"

"My Lovely Sister" is a colorful film by Marco Carmel about a family of Moroccan-Israeli Jews, an under-represented commodity in Israeli cinema. The movie's exotic flavor comes complete with sun-baked contrast, textured music and beautiful performances. Evelin Hagoel, as the film's lead, gives one the best performances I've seen at this year's Atlanta Jewish Film Festival for which she deservedly won an Ophir Award for Best Actress.
