Waste of time.

Rating: 3/10 (28 June 2020)

I think I watched this while I was in my teens and for some reason back then must've been moderately intrigued by it. Since then, as my SO's young son is a maths genius fascinated by pi, thought it would be interesting to watch with her when I saw it pop up on Prime. Big mistake, laughable waste' of time.

I could not stop my foot twitching in anxiety. (Not the good kind).
likely to be triggering to anyone with mental health or drug issues.
horribly drills into your brain like a black and white fly buzzing around that just won't leave you alone. Like you're wondering when the thing will just f off and not bother you anymore but it keeps on and on and on and on...
obtuse unnecessary black and white filming which adds little other than annoying the viewer (imho)
the Hassid is supposed to be from the Habad movement. It's horribly cast as a Habad Hassid has a long beard and looks nothing like that. He also wouldn't be talking in the middle of donning the 'phylacteries' with someone.
that soundtrack again... Just bores into one's brain and gets under one's skin. I can still hear and feel it.

I tried. Really I did. About an hour in (after failing to see what prompted me to recommend it and feeling guilty of wasting both our times) I finally said 'let's go up, I've had enough.'
Save yourself time and effort. Nothing to be gained here.
