Brings an instinctive yet clear-eyed sympathy for these women's remarkable story, joined with an ability to be candid about the difficulties that arose within the group and with the greater Hasidic community.

Without denying that these women face discrimination in reaching their goal, the movie shows how its subjects are able to find ways to combine strict observance and progress.

"Fasten your seat belt and let's move," says Hasidic Jewish woman Rachel 'Ruchie' Freier early on in 93Queen, and you'd be wise to follow her advice.

3.5/4.0

An immensely entertaining and involving documentary that follows the traditional doc route in telling a simple yet remarkable story.

Very interesting and candid look at women in this community where, indeed, "feminism" does not exactly apply in that Chasidism has a concept of womanhood as separate but equal, with clearly defined strengths, roles and identity. There was a plot to this documentary -- in the creation of a new kind of organization, the roles and relationships among the people involved, resistence from many in the community, work, the trials and triumphs and the glass ceiling broken by the dynamic leader. I found it hard not to get annoyed by her confidence and the way the female-EMS idea's originator somehow ended up hurt. Being a product of the '60s who later learned some orthodoxy, I'm not sure how one can wear a gorgeous wig and show (off) one's great figure and still be modest, or when one is hiding one's light under a bushel.
