Menashe (Yiddish: מנשה) is a 2017 Yiddish-language American drama film directed by Joshua Z. Weinstein. It premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2017, where it was acquired by A24 for U.S. distribution. The film was released in the United States on July 28, 2017.
Weinstein captures Menashe’s turmoil with utmost sincerity and stunning control. Adding to its neorealist flavor, intimate cinematography places us in Menashe's cramped apartment, (where he can only feed his son soda and cake for breakfast) or in the middle of his tense meetings with The Ruv.
A sweet, quiet and unpretentious, culturally specific yet universal portrait of fatherhood in a culture rarely depicted on film, Menashe marks a sympathetic and tender, if a bit too brisk and restrained first feature from Joshua Z. Weinstein.
