I saw this movie after seeing it listed on someone's top 20 films for 2017. It is available on Amazon Prime.
This movie was thoroughly absorbing & emotionally real. Almost the entire film takes place in Yiddish. The actors, all very good, are amateurs.
There was only one scene that I thought could have been a little better? It was the scene where Menashe talks to his brother-in-law at his door. There was very little eye contact from Menashe. He looked down the entire time. This may be true in real life but for a film there should be some eye contact to express emotion.
Great story telling. Really well done. Highly recommended.
