    While "Unorthodox" has rich cultural detail in presenting this community back in Williamsburg, the tragic note it hits remains the same. In this story, religion is presented as a joyless life sentence. That’s an entirely welcome depiction whether one agrees with it or not, it’s more that it flattens out the story when it comes to making a challenging world or set of characters, and makes Esty's liberation all the more obvious.

    Some people really weep and whine all the time. they start, they go into a situation, they get out of the situation, they are given options,Some people really weep and whine all the time. they start, they go into a situation, they get out of the situation, they are given options, they are given no options, they are offered community, they are offered independence and nothing is good enough, they just weep and whine on and on and on. Zero sense of humor, zero love of life, just a constant sense of detachment from any kind of joy. This show portrays a woman from start to finish weeping and whining about every situation she is in. About as fun as only critics can enjoy.… Full Review »
