== Reception and legacy ==
[[Michael Berenbaum]], project director of the [[United States Holocaust Memorial Museum]] described the movie as "a substantive piece of work" but "watching it is like sitting in a dentist's chair where the drill begins at the first moment and doesn't let up till the end of the two hours. If it had, it might have been more effective. In a real sense, that is Marvin Hier."<ref name="lat1990jul15">{{cite web | title=The Unorthodox Rabbi : By Invoking the Holocaust and Bullying the Establishment, Marvin Hier Has Made The Simon Wiesenthal Center the Most Visible Jewish Organization in the World | website=[[Los Angeles Times]] | date=July 15, 1990 | url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-07-15-tm-548-story.html | access-date=August 30, 2020}}</ref>
