Julian Rex M @Julian_M Jun 18, 2025 Menashe's hunt for emotional insight too often comes up dry but is nonetheless supported by an eye-opening look into the Hasidic Jewish community in New York that Menashe Lustig's relatable and refreshingly subtle performance casts light upon.

Here is a film featuring a lead actor who had never seen a film before. It goes within one of the world’s most filmed cities to discover an environment rarely revealed to outsiders. But it also wins kudos for the emotional honesty of its uncomplicated narrative. Here are things that happen to few of us. Here are things that happen to all of us." - Donald Clark, The Irish Times See more Lulinda L @LulieLime Mar 23, 2023 I learned a great deal while watching this movie. I thought I knew more than I did. Our differences in cultures makes the world go round. It also makes the world a far more interesting place. It seems we all have MORE in common than not. A desire for acceptance & belonging, qualities of tolerance and patience. Most of all the universal innate need of L-O-V-E!!! See more ikiru y @Ikiru Aug 1, 2021 Overrated. It is an interesting look into a sub-culture that is rarely seen. BUT, as a piece of entertainment, it is simple and mostly unengaging. See more Jun 3, 2021 Esse filme causa uma angústia tremenda, tudo bem que Menashe não pode ser considerado o que costumamos chamar de um adulto responsável, mas as regras sobre a paternidade me revoltaram extremamente, doeu, ver o amor pelo filho e a obrigatoriedade da ausência (sem pai e mãe uma criança não pode estudar) absurdo… Lento, delicado, singelo, um retrato puro do amor de pai/filho e das tradições judaicas. O enredo de Menashe é vagamente baseado na vida de Lustig. Em uma entrevista ao Los Angeles Times, ele disse que "ao contrário de Menashe no filme, eu não sou um schlimazel por natureza. Talvez apenas um schlimazel por situação." See more rosey r @Rosey26 Sep 2, 2020 This is a very sad and slow moving movie. It gives a small glimpse of living in a orthodox community. I liked the character of Menashe but grew tired of his inadequacies. I did not finish the movie. See more Read all reviews
