It actually HAD no sense.

Agreed. Very few films have me shaking my head wondering what the hell I just watched. No clue what it meant, even though I'm quite familiar with spelling bees, Judism, & Kabbalah. I even know more than a bit about OCD (the mother's Tupperware sorting scene) & car accidents, but still nothing.

OK- this movie had me scratching my head, too. No sense at all. If the family falling apart was symbolic of the broken vessel of light that Kabbalah (and the OCD Mom) were trying to put back together, how is the girl's deliberate losing of the National Spelling Bee after having a seizure (reaching the ear of God?) the solution to bringing her fractured family back together??
This movie really sucked. The family sucked. They all need to be institutionalized together with the Mom in the looney bin.
