Very Jewish. Has a great face turn near the end. Neatly splits into three acts.  The story feels like a beautifully and intricately woven tapestry. There is incredible depth and every detail matters for the whole. 

An excellent portrayal of antisemitism in society as well as mob mentality. It explored themes of the importance of family as well as found family, the brilliance and fortitude of women and an enemies to lovers story that isn't cliche.
