Menashe

Tensions rise in this insightful, down-to-earth, touching, well-acted, poignant, 82-minute film for a struggling, widowed, orthodox Hasidic Jew (Menashe Lustig) who works as a down-trodden grocery store employee in Brooklyn and desperately wants to care for his son (Ruben Niborski) as he tries to convince the stubborn rabbi (Meyer Schwartz) to permit him to raise his own child rather than his disrespectful brother-in-law (Yoel Weisshaus) and his family.
