I've posted a detailed review of this film, and numerous others playing at the Tribeca Film Festival, on my blog, The Looseleaf Report. Please check it out.

Great review. But I think you should post it here.
shareYeah, at the end when Shlomo takes him to his grandfather's apartment and the Dr. is there, I thought they were going to circumcise him.
shareI thought the same thing. When the other boy had his barmitzvah was the first time, but when I saw the doctor in the apartment I actually yelled out "No, don't mutilate him!" afraid that that's what they were going to do.... a sick and barbaric practice.
shareI had the EXACT same reaction. I then took comfort in the fact that it's only a movie. :D
shareI agree it is a sick and barbaric practice. Million of girls are also circumcised in Africa, also extremely sick.
shareHow exactly does THAT work? On second thought, I don't wanna know.
You only go around life once so you might as well spend it smashed
Female circumcision is entirely different than male circumcision and done for a completely different reason!
shareWe watched this movie a few days ago, and I thought exactly the same. It would have spoiled the movie for me. Since it didn't happen, I must say it is a wonderful film, which I could watch again in a few years' time.
shareI just watched it, interesting film focusing on the Brazilian Jewish population in San Paulo.
