Review title: Deeply human tale, lovingly told
Product review: On the surface this seems to be a story concerned about conflicting forms of Judaism. This is true but there's a lot more, too. There are universal themes that apply to any ethnic group: young people who are born into a strict culture but want to see more of life, conflicts between the generations, what constitutes friendship, the relationship of head to heart, the place of silence.The film achieves a nice balance, I think, between presenting the ideological concepts and the simple human events. The cast is first rate; the two fathers and the two sons are all splendid.I'm not sure why I couldn't assign five stars to the film. Maybe just because it was so male-dominated that the sparkle that comes with more interaction between the sexes was lacking. Towards the end I felt it began to drag and I was happy to see it resolved. All in all, it's a very fine film, one that most anyone would enjoy. Good for children, too although the real young ones may get antsy.
