I saw this movie when it first came out, in Spokane, probably among the most goyische places that would actually have it in a theater. I was probably the only one in the movie theater who had an idea of how Chabad approaches Jews with their form of evangelism.

I loved this movie, probably because it was so strange.

I saw it again recently with my husband, checking it out of the library. It has themes I’m interested in: numbers, Jewish mysticism, the financial marketplace. But I don’t need to drill holes in my head when I have a migraine – the MRI showed I already have a few there.
