Interesting if familiar - Minyan review by AER
Interesting insight into the religious procedures of Jews living in 1980s Brighton Beach, NY. A young man David navigates teenagerdom whilst living with his grandfather in an apartment located with in a synagogue complex. This runs parallel to David's burgeoning homosexuality. It has an even pace, but the characters are well-developed even if the path is well-worn.

Complex Ethnic Rubbish - Minyan review by JT
Never been so bored in my life. Complex Jewish religious procedures which are of no interest at all to a non jewish viewer, with the most outlandish musical soundtrack I have ever heard.
