Joan Micklin Silver, the director, has to be given a lot of credit for the success of this movie about immigrants coming to America, the husband and wife with opposing viewpoints as to how to fit in with that early American culture. Carol Kane is brilliant in an Oscar Nominated performance, the quiet good Jewish wife, while Steven Keats as the husband has a bent to throw himself right into this new way of life. Obviously a lot of friction ensues. The film moves deliberately slowly but with grand punctuation.
