Put simply: it's funny, albeit as broad as Mame's bottom. Go to Full Review
Hannah Brown Jerusalem Post 11/15/2019
The actors are appealing, but the movie is clichéd from start to finish. Go to Full Review

Concluding on an unexpectedly ambiguous note, the clichés of the film are thus salvaged by a thoughtfully unorthodox outlook on Orthodox Judaism. Go to Full Review

Comedy about Orthodox Jewish man; cursing, sex, drugs. Go to Full Review

While The Awakening of Motti Wolkenbruch is fairly well-plotted and visually competent, it fails to transcend its familiar structure. Go to Full Review

Wolfgang G 11/24/2022 Wolkenbruchs wunderliche Reise in die Arme einer Schickse ist eine Filmkomödie von Michael Steiner. Das Drehbuch von Thomas Meyer basiert auf seinem gleichnamigen Roman. Der Film erzählt, humorvoll und unbeschwert das Leben von Motti Wolkenbruch (gespielt von Joel Basman) eines jugendlichen orthodoxen Juden. Die Geschichte gibt einen Einblick in die jiddische Sprache und ihren Jüdischen Lebensstil. Der Film ist eine klassische Komödie, mit gut gesielten Charakteren.

See more 07/03/2020 This movie is definitely an acquired taste if you are a Jew whose mother somewhat resembles his this is the best movie in the world. Edit: Okay I read some of the other critics and this movie is not offencive that's what comedies are about they point out stereotypes and they exaggerate them that is what it is all about. If this was a documentary I would agree with you. See more 05/31/2020 Es buena para distraerte un rato, pero no es la gran cosa, aunque tenga momentos realmente divertidos. See more 01/19/2020 While it had its moments, the 100% mocking/negative portrayal of the Orthodox Jewish world was both unrealistic and offensive. The mother was a pure stereotype without a single redeeming feature. A better movie would have showed both some positive aspects of the Jewish world alongside the allure/attractiveness of the secular life Motti was awakened to. See more 12/01/2019 Unoriginal. I've seen a lot of movies where someone from an insular community wants to marry an outsider. At least most of those other movies are funny. Motti Wolkenbruch is just nasty. See more Read all reviews
