That would be The Awakening of Motti Wolkenbruch. I watched on Netflix despite knowing, just from the description, that it would be terrible. But it was even worse.

Amazing they still make this stuff in 2019.

Maybe in Switzerland they haven’t seen all these tropes 100 times already.

Yeah, the previews looked really bad. I'm sorry to hear it was even worse. Thanks for taking one for the team. I won't reward them with a click.

Just looked it up. Sounds very cringey.

Also none of the characters made a bracha before eating.

Not just the main character but also his best friend used their phones on shabbat. There wasn’t even a question that of course they would do that.

None of the women are 3-dimensional human beings - they exist solely for the main character to get some s-x. Both the secular Israeli Yael and the non-Jewish woman Laura are Manic Pixie Dream Girls in the negative sense. The trope is not deconstructed - it is reinforced.

Every imaginable offensive cliche about Jewish mothers.

Every boring stereotype about how Judaism = unfreedom. Nothing about his life is meaningful to the main character. Nothing is valuable.

How can such a film be made *after* Srugim and Shtisel? And how could anyone like it? It’s just badly done, with every tired trope trotted out like it’s 1963.

And it’s not funny like, anywhere.

Anyone here who watched it should leave an honest review.
