The production is okay, but too many questions

The production is okay, but too many questions here with no answers. Generally, theater is all about exposing who we are as humans. Zero of that is visible here.

Beautiful...

This movie causes tremendous anguish, okay Menashe can't be considered what we usually call a responsible adult, but the rules on fatherhood revolted me extremely, it hurt, to see the love for the child and the mandatory absence (no father and mother a child can't study) absurd... Slow, delicate, simple, a pure portrait of father/son love and Jewish traditions. Menashe's plot is loosely based on Lustig's life. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, he said that "unlike Menashe in the movie, I'm not a schlimazel by nature. Maybe just a schlimazel by situation."
