Various complications arise, not only about the initial mistaken engagement but also the fact that some members of Shira's family (especially her grandmother Berta) are opposed to her marrying a German.
Kiss Me Kosher was created by Fireglory Pictures in coproduction with SWR, Arte, Erfttal Film, and Big Top Studios.
"[14] Trent Kinnucan of Hollywood Insider said the "film is international relations, writ small"[15] Knut Elstermann from MDR Kultur writes: In her debut, Peleg lets prejudices, clichés, insecurities and misunderstandings between Germans and Israelis collide and never forgets that the Shoah is the terrible reason for the deep mistrust.
[16] Martin Schwickert describes Kiss Me Kosher in the Tagesspiegel as a screwball comedy and continues: Peleg stages dialogues that jump from one faux pas to the next.
[17] Carsten Beyer from RBB Kultur writes: “[Peleg's] good knowledge of both cultures can be felt in her loving character drawing.
If you add the technical details - the expressive pictures, the quick cuts and the original soundtrack - "Kiss me Kosher" is an absolutely successful debut. "
