Absolutely Stunning
hoopygamer8 March 2024
Beautiful movie, with incredible acting and phenomenal storytelling.

The movie manages to touch some very heavy and complex issues within the Haredi Community, and criticize just what needs to be.

You can tell how personal the entire script is, and the director's storytelling conveys a very intimate and emotional journey through his own life; all of his struggles and challenges are laid out in front of you. And you get to experience them with him all over again.

Left the movie wanting to know and hear more.

Definitely looking forward to see both the director's and the actors' future work.

Absolutely stunning.

Heavy-Handed Tedium

Warning: Spoilers
At the beginning, this film promises to present a nuanced study of cultural tensions within the closed, but surprisingly complicated and diverse Israeli Haredi community.

Unfortunately, it ultimately morphs into a loud, manipulative caricature of a violent struggle between corrupt, irrational community leaders and a bullheaded first-time entrepreneur who should have known better.

Any commentary on the tensions between tradition and innovation, between conservatism and modernity, are lost in the bloodbath. Benny Fredman clearly shouldn't be directing traffic, let alone a movie with such delicate subject matter.
