DOUGH

Dir. John Goldschmidt, UK, 2016, 94 min., English Language

DEFINITELY NOT KOSHER! A Muslim immigrant’s secret ingredient helps save a Jewish bakery in this hilarious new cross-cultural comedy!

“Funny, sweet, and appealing!”

– John Goldschmidt, New York Times


“Dough is a delightful, life-affirming British comedy.”

– Simi Horwitz, Film Journal International


“The screenwriters pull no punches with humor….Dough is about finding common ground while seeing skin color and religion as meaningless in the face of compassion and humility.”

– Jared Mobarak, Film Stage


“The burgeoning cross-cultural relationship is depicted with a warmth and humor that will have you kvelling.”

– Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter


“Dough is fun, a sweet-natured confection with a hopeful message about unity that is well-suited for our socially complex, divided times.”

– Randy Meyers, San Jose Mercury News


Jonathan Pryce (Pirates of the Caribbean, Game of Thrones) and Pauline Collins (Shirley Valentine) star in this hilarious new comedy that shows you don’t have to be baked to make some Dough!

Curmudgeonly widower Nat Dayan (Jonathan Pryce) clings to his way of life as a Kosher bakery shop owner in London’s East End. Understaffed, Nat reluctantly enlists the help of teenager Ayyash (Jerome Holder), who has a secret side gig selling marijuana to help his immigrant mother make ends meet. When Ayyash accidentally drops his stash into the mixing dough, the challah starts flying off the shelves and an unlikely friendship forms between the old Jewish baker and his young Muslim apprentice. Dough is a warmhearted and humorous story about overcoming prejudice and finding redemption in unexpected places. (C) Menemsha Films
