[5] Viviane Amsalem (Ronit Elkabetz) has been married to her husband, Elisha (Simon Abkarian), for over twenty years.

Though he tries to prove that he is a good husband and a pious man, witnesses reveal that Elisha is vengeful and petty and that Viviane has in fact been unhappy with him for years.

He is then held in contempt of court and finally agrees that he will divorce his wife if the rabbinical judicial panel orders him to.

Gett was lauded by film critics, earning a 90/100 average on Metacritic and a 100% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Variety magazine's Jay Weissberg praised its "beautifully modulated script, ripe with moments of liberating humor".
