Miriam

A beautiful story about gender and religious identity, Miriam is a coming-of-age story that tackles the complexities of identity, discovering yourself and your voice in its short runtime but packs enough emotion to make every aspect of the family and their clashes feel natural and well developed. Even with an Emmy-nominated actor, the young cast shine and cultivate the characters' relationships perfectly so you feel every bit of their history. Pearl Scarlett Gold captures every nuance of Miram’s emotions, drives and showcases her differing relationship with each of her family who all have their own conflicts with each other that are perfectly crafted with very tense dinner scenes, crafted brilliantly by writer Levi Alexander and director Josie Andrews.
