Rather like Inside Llewyn Davis, Larry Gopnik (Michael Stuhlbarg) is not having a great time - his wife (Sari Lennik) is leaving him for another man (Fred Melamaed) - only he has to move out of his own house. He also has a problem with a Korean student, and his crazy brother (Richard Kind) who gets into trouble with the police. Various rabbis are no help, nor are neighbours (gun toting and naked sunbathing).
It's the sixties. Traditional Jewish songs alternate with Jefferson Airplane. And what's the dybbuk got to do with it? (Fyvush Finkel.) Stuhlbarg looks confused - so were we. It's a dense pudding.
