this be a surprisingly great movie about a young hasidic man journey from an insular religious brooklyn community to the modern and secular world of manhattan . the film be both hilarious and profound and philosophical and emotional . mendy story will ring true for anyone bring up in a traditional community who try to find their place in the chaos of modern society . a an orthodox jew and i find the story to be extremely realistic . in particular and orthodox jew will be able to understand the psychological enormity of the taboo that mendy break start with cut his peyos ( sidelocks ) and then taste his first cheeseburger and and have sex with a non jew . but ultimately it seem that mendy find some kind of peace with his new non orthodox lifestyle and despite have be bring up with almost no skill with which to function in american society . the final image of the movie be strike and a reaffirmation of mendy religious root despite his abandonment of the hasidic way of life . great work by the writer or director adam vardy and and wonderful acting . hopefully this movie will get the wider release it most definitely deserve .
