Minyan is a 2020 American LGBT-related coming-of-age drama film written by Eric Steel and Daniel Pearle.
He has a closer relationship with his widowed grandfather Josef, than he does with his parents; his dad frequently beats him and his mother is overbearing and constantly meddling in his life.
There is also a closeted gay senior couple living there, Herschel and Itzik, whom the neighbors choose to view as friends, which David befriends.
Now that David is living away from his parents, he can explore his sexuality more fully by cruising the parks and the local library, where young gay men hang out.
[3] Metacritic assigned the film an average weighted score of 68 out of 100, based on 11 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".
[10] Jude Dry wrote in their review for Indie Wire, that "Josef and David's relationship...provides some of the film's most charming moments...in no small part to the delightful Ron Rifkin and Levine...who carries it all off with a smoldering finesse".
He also complimented Levine for his portrayal of David as being "consistently compelling, vulnerable, nervous and frequently defensive yet hungry for human contact that will feed his self-knowledge".
