I thought I wanted to watch it, but after reading a review and plot summary, I see that it is decidedly not the sort of thing I want to see. Another "Fill the Void" or "Ushpizin" or "The Wedding Plan" it is not.

Here's a review which says the Jewish part is poorly done.

The Jewish part was actually very well done. I can’t imagine why someone would say it wasn’t.
My issue with it was that it failed to invoke the emotion that it could have. I spoke to several people, and had that anticipation myself, that it would hit close to home for some of us and make us feel things based on what we’ve experienced. But it didn’t. The acting was good, the cinematography was nice, but overall it fell flat.

Maya if you grew up chassidish I don't think you would really understand the nuances of litvish life so it would not feel off to you. Just the trailer felt so fake to me.

I viewed the trailer and have no interest to see the movie. The trailer did not depict reality. So, no, not gonna see the movie.

My (formerly yeshivish, now not frum) relative made a point of telling me that he watched it. He said the acting was very realistic.

Reality today on Imamother. Poster admits no attraction to spouse and is turned on by thinking of women.

I watched just the trailer. Forget about the plot just watching the acting turned me off. No one who I know in real life talks, thinks or has the mannerisms of these actors.
That is just the acting.
As far as the plot is concerned, as Isaac Bashevis Singer put it back in the 1930s about his fellow OTD writers. "No one has any reason to read fictional stories about someone's fight with his father in law about leaving Chasidus for secularism, or why someone left a Yeshiva because secularism won him over. These stories are only written so that the author has a mouthpiece and the readers have validation"
Update that quote to movies today.
PS. IBS wrote the above as a totally neutral comment to explain why there were so many aspiring OTD writers in the 1930s yet virtually none of them were successful.

I'm not disagreeing with this.
If you watch the trailer you'll see the level of aggression used is totally not a reflection of reality. It's more of a [filth] scene than a normative gay zex scene.

Could you give me your source for this quote?
Also, do you feel that the last sentence of the above quote, "These stories are only written so that the author has a mouthpiece and the readers have validation", applies to a significant percentage of frum literature? Why or why not?

I can give you other surprising quotes coming from a person like him but I have no intentions of giving him any more publicity.
Frum fiction literature does not have an obsessive and almost exclusive focus on people coming to realize the truth of a frum lifestyle or the falsehood of a secular one.
Therefore I do not think the quote is true about most frum fiction literature.

There aren’t that many differences in the nuances between right wing Yeshivish and chassidish. Perhaps if you’d actually watch the movie your opinion on this would have more clout.
