Exceptionally, I won't be giving this film a numerical ranking as I don't feel comfortable quantifying this man's pain.

Because, essentially that's what _M_ is: The story of one man's pain and how he comes to terms with it. M is Menahem who, when he was the Jewish version of a choir boy in the ultra religious Israeli town of Bnei Brak, was raped repeatedly by different Rabbis and members of his yeshiva.

While I personally would've appreciated seeing this film attempt to give an overall snapshot of how prevalent this is (the film gives the impression that it is frighteningly wide-spread) and what is being done to address this crisis (the film gives only a few pithy sentences of reassurance at the end), I'm obviously happy that the documentary helped Menahem confront and even slay several of his demons.
