A Stranger Among Us
New York police detective Emily Eden (stunning: Melanie Griffith) is assigned to solve the robbery-murder of a Jewish diamond dealer. "She is placed in the Hasidic community of Brooklyn with the rabbi's family. Her distance from the strange, exotic world increasingly turns to understanding and longing for the values of tradition, community, solidarity and fear of God. A superbly directed and cast thriller that draws its appeal from the encounter with the alien world of the Hasidic religious community." (Filmdienst)
