I hope that if FYI decides to do another season, they find 'truly arranged' couples. I really enjoyed the first season, but these couples were hard to watch and were not as likable as the couples in Season 1. Should have called this one 'Newlyweds,' since I cannot tell how any of these couples were arranged.

In some instances, arranged means that after an initial meeting, the instructor and the students will agree on a mutually acceptable class time for the remainder of the term or semester. It can also means that the instructor will arrange to meet with each student individually. Arranged is one of the most spiritually literate films of the year. Directed by Stefan Schaefer and Diane Crespo, it is carried into our hearts by two radiant performances by Zoe Lister-Jones and Francis Benhamou as Rochel and Nasira.

Plot[edit]

The film centers on two young women; one an Orthodox Jew named Rochel, the other a devout Muslim named Nasira; who meet and become friends at a public school in Brooklyn, and eventually bond over the similarities of feeling like an outsider because of their conservatism in their faiths. They learn that they share a lot in common, not least of which is that they are both going through arranged marriages.

Nasira is shown being very contemporary in the privacy of her home, where her father is also shown to be open-minded to the opinions of his wife and daughter. Nasira's family is also more welcoming of her friendship with a Jew, than Rochel's family is with her friendship with a Muslim. This is shown when each woman visits the other's home.

Nasira is shown not to be the oppressed Muslim woman that Western society stereotypes her faith as; she lets the principal of the school know that her father doesn't make her wear her hijab, that it's her choice. She also works as an elementary teacher in a diverse public school (which means she has an advanced education); and when she felt disgusted by an older man that her father had set up for her as a potential suitor, he agreed that he was not the right one. She also seemed to have more independence than Rochel did.

Rochel, on the other hand, feels the pressure of her strict faith, especially the urgency from her mother to be married. She goes to a matchmaker who sets her up on dates, but none of the men interest her. She is also questioning her orthodox faith and one night goes to a cousin's apartment, who had left the Orthodox community herself. There she gets a glimpse of what leaving her orthodox life would be like, but ultimately decides to return home instead.

Rochel is a para to a special-needs Hispanic boy who is in Nasira's class, and her friendship with Nasira develops as they learn more about each other in and out of school.

When Nasira has found her perfect match, she tries to help Rochel find her match too - who happens to be an Orthodox Jew who is in her brother's study group at college. She gets his information and passes it along to Rochel's matchmaker.

The film ends with Nasira and Rochel both married, sitting in the park with their babies in their strollers, talking about their husbands and married life.
