Full Plot Details

Menashe, a widower, lives and works within the Hasidic community of Borough Park, Brooklyn. Since his wife passed away a year before, he has been trying hard to regain custody of his nine-year-old son, Rieven. But the rabbi (and all the community behind him) will not hear of it unless he re-marries, which Menashe does not want, his first marriage having been very unhappy. Father and son get on well together, but can Menashe take care of Rieven properly? Not really for all his goodwill as he holds down a low-paid job as a grocery clerk that consumes too much of his efforts and energy. Always late, always in a hurry, he endeavors to improve himself though. But will his efforts be enough to convince the rabbi that he can be a good father without a wife at home?

Movie Reviews

Newark Star-Ledger - 10/10 by Stephen WhittyThis is not a melodramatic movie - there's not so much as a fistfight, and the ending will be too quiet for some - yet at times its sadness is almost overwhelming.
WBAI Radio - 10/10 by Prairie Miller'The Three Things That Bring A Man Happiness, Says The Talmud: A nice wife, a nice house, and nice dishes.' And how coming to light, is the way in which forced marriages can psychologically scar males too - who knew. Quirky Un-Orthodox Hasidic tale rules.
amNewYork - 10/10 by Robert LevinSmall, naturalistic moments like a scene of father and son scrambling to quickly eat breakfast and leave the apartment collectively give the Yiddish-language movie its quiet but unmistakable power.
Cinemalogue.com - 10/10 by Todd JorgensonBittersweet yet charming, it's both intimate and relatable for parents everywhere.
Boston Globe - 10/10 by Peter KeoughFunny, heartbreaking, impeccably observed, and nearly flawless drama.
RogerEbert.com - 10/10 by Nick AllenHere is a film dedicated to recognizing our most common obstacles, its quiet storytelling largely accompanied by those feelings at the bottom of anyone’s gut: guilt, shame, defeat. Menashe is a gorgeous ode to everyone's inner screw-up.
The Spectator - 10/10 by Deborah RossIt is small and specific, admittedly, but it also tells a universal story about a father's struggle to hold on to the son he loves, and it tells this story tenderly, thoughtfully, beautifully.
The Arts Desk - 10/10 by Saskia BaronMenashe is utterly absorbing, deeply charming, and very funny. It's an impressive first narrative feature by documentarian Joshua Z Weinstein, who brings an assured intimacy to the screen from the outset.
The Young Folks - 9/10 by Eli Fine"Menashe" is a movie that by all rights should not exist. Sitting in the theater, watching this film for the first time, I was preoccupied throughout with the question of how the hell this movie came into being.
Original Cin - 9/10 by Jim SlotekDespite being set in an almost impenetrably closed society, Menashe is a touching story with the universal theme of being unable to fit in a world of hard rules and expected behavior.
