The Red Tent 2014

This is an entirely fictional telling that has nothing to do with the biblical Dinah beyond the borrowed names. Its characterizations of Jewish faith and idol worship have no similarities with the realities. Instead, it has transformed the Red Tent (the tent reserved for a woman’s monthly menstrual retreat from the camp) into a feminist sanctuary for a fabricated worship of female deities. So, divorced from any historical efficacy, here is my response to the series. It is beautifully shot, told and performed. Rebecca Ferguson, Minnie Driver and Morena Baccarin, all bring beauty, grace and grounded characters to life. Debra Winger was a delightful addition. The lush sets, soaring sound track, vibrant colours all give the story a wonderful depth. As a work of total fiction this is a magnificent work of art. Its richness lingers after the credits roll. I give this limited series a 9 (beautiful) out of 10. [Drama]

I just watched the movie The Red Tent. It was so sad, but it did have a great message of forgiveness in it.
