Movie Reviews of A Price Above Rubies

Movie Review: well-crafted discussion starter
Summary: 4 Stars

Although I could certainly understand why Orthodox followers would not find a message in this movie at all, it offers the suggestion that Orthodox Judaism, while fine for some, is devastating to others. It was quite a bit more emotionally involving than I had expected, but the questions that are raised make it well worth the energy.

If you're looking for a film that celebrates Orthodox faith, this isn't it, but it is nonetheless a powerful story. Well-directed, Renee Zellwiger was excellent. Definitely a cause for discussion.

Movie Review: Great Drama, Too Ambitious
Summary: 4 Stars

See the movie. From all these other reviews, you might wonder if it's really going to be worth watching. You've read the other reviews, and the movie sounds nutty, kind of impossible, probably not that interesing. But it is interesting. It's engrossing. It works. It's really, really good. It's a bit too ambitious in the end, but it works anyway, and will be with you for a long time afterward.

Movie Review: fascinating film, yet not a nice portrayal of the hassidim
Summary: 4 Stars

i must admit i enjoyed this film, i found it entertaining, however, i would hate to think that this is how the hassidim treat one another. nobody was nice or showed any kind of sensitivity, there wasn't much love or affection and i can't believe this to be an accurate portrayal of an entire community. way too hollywood to be true.

Movie Review: Voyeuristic
Summary: 4 Stars

I find this movie very soapy and the cash business within the community is fascinating. I have no idea if this movie is offensive to the Orthodox Jewish community but I am just nosy.
