Title: No cigar -- not even a cigarette butt
Product review: Here we go again with yet another film that portrays a traditional culture as something that women need to "escape" from. When will Hollywood move beyond this tired cliche?The stark, forbidding dialogue in this movie shows that the writers have never been in a real Hasidic home. Yes, it is true that Hasidim put on a stern face on the streets for self-protection, at home there is love and warmth the same as any other family.This is not a portrayal Hasidism as it really is, it is a stereotype of what Hollywood secularists think it "must" be. This film not only missed the mark, it never even hit the side of the barn.
