Menashe offers an intriguing look at a culture whose unfamiliarity to many viewers will be rendered irrelevant by the story's universally affecting themes and thoughtful approach.

It's a film that just keeps getting stronger as it goes, unfolding almost imperceptibly and becoming deeper with each scene. Feb 2, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Weinstein normally directs documentaries, and "Menashe" has a fly-on-the-wall feel at times, particularly in the warmly believable interplay between father and son. The movie was filmed in Borough Park, N.Y., which adds to the atmosphere. Aug 17, 2017 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Weinstein brings a palpable authenticity (attributable in part to a cast made up of local non-actors) to this universally resonant story, rendering it unique and specific in a meticulously detailed setting. Aug 17, 2017 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

For a film that focuses on parent-child relations in the wake of a tragic death, Menashe remarkably eschews sentimentality or lazy conjecture. Mar 6, 2019 | Full Review…

An undeniably impressive work guided by an auteur-like Weinstein, Menashe is simultaneously entrancing and beguilingly underdeveloped. Feb 19, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

There are welcome insights in to a culture largely ignored by society; unfortunately, they are married in to a domestic drama that slowly loses steam and never manages to overcome how boringly familiar its central scenario is. Nov 12, 2018 | Rating: 5/10 | Full Review…

Menashe has a tenderness to it that is hard to decry, and because it's shorter than your average film, it doesn't have the time to go off the rails and become something it's not. Nov 9, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Weinstein walks a tightrope similar to the one of his main character, and though Menashe may occasionally falter, this director impressively does not in his first feature. Nov 1, 2018 | Full Review…
