Unorthodox

As Deborah Feldman said in the Making of Unorthodox, the languages spoken may be foreign to some, but the happenings within the story line are universally understood.

Completely underrated.

I cried a little while I reflected a lot. Beautifully told story. Wonderfully acted. Etsy's journey was relatable not because she was Jewish but because she was a young woman on a journey to womanhood, independence, Self-efficacy

This little gem packs such a punch, it really is a little masterclass. I found myself rooting for certain outcomes with the introduction of every character. The cast is so well put together it is hard not to be engrossed in this world, a world that the producers have presented with such an authentic feel. I was hooked and found it very hard to take a break; I watched the 4 episodes in 2 sittings. Several emotional scenes are played out so well and effortlessly you forget you are watching netflix.

A stunning must see.

This movie is a must watch, it shows how far we have come, how far we can go. I binge watched but there were times that I just had to pause and get air for sometime coz it's intense and it's surreal despite being so rooted in reality. Every single cast member were complex and had an arch, it was amazing really. I'm glad they y didn't dumb it down for us (outsiders of the community). Me pausing the show, to find out meanings of words and rituals didn't spoil my experience of the show but enriched it. There were moments I recoiled, moments I sympathized, moments I cried, but in the end I was touched by beautiful cinematic experience.

The subject may not attract everybody, but the story is actually universal. The struggle of the main character can be applied to every religious or closed society, actually it applies to every community. The series are well done and fast paced, it kept me focused for almost four hours. Thought provoking and emotional at the same time. The main actress is just superb. Highly recommended.
