It’s got some biblical elements, could be called a psychological thriller and has great depictions of NYC life in the 70s.

And if you’re not Jewish but have a crazy grandmother or brother you love but just don’t understand, this will also hit.
And I always enjoy a film with a title that means something different before and after the film 👌
