the movie open with a scene that simply could not be . a man wake up and while his wife remain in bed and he begin his morning prayer in his bedroom while his wife sleep peacefully . morning blessing be recite and but only the one gitai find controversial . the rest be conveniently omit . then while in philactories and a tallis he kiss his wife good morning . this be not an accurate depiction of jewish prayer in any home and let alone a chassidic home . amos gittai be not interested in accurately portray chassidic life . he be interested in add to his ever grow list of melodramatic and empty film . the mikka ( ritual bath ) scene be far from accurate and his jewish wedding be laughable a it do not even approach the atmosphere of a chassidic wedding . i have many problem with the chassidic way of life and but i have no use for amos gittai commentary on these issue . he would have you think that the chassid be all dense comformists with severe bout of depression . i may not agree with the chassidic lifestyle and but i acknowledge that chassidic life have many layer . amos gitai be blind by his own secularist pseudo intellectual stubborness and be therefore and incapable of portray an accurate depiciton of chassidic life . aside from his poor research and unbalanced portrayal of chassidic life and gitai fails in other aspect a well . the plot be full of hole and the dialogue load with silence and the soundtrack be too repetitive and the act while at time powerfull be too often load with melodrama . the movie drag on and on and the end be not worth stick around for . watch if you must and but be warn . if you want to learn about chassidic life go to the community and talk to chassidim . do not rely on gittai film .
