Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the documentary The Muses of Isaac Bashevis Singer, directed by Shaul Betser and Asaf Galay.

The thread gives a background on the documentary, which discusses the women who inspired Isaac Bashevis Singer throughout his life. The thread mentions the shortcomings Bashevis Singer had in his relationships. It also discusses how the translators of Bashevis Singer's work from Yiddish to English were mostly women. And it talks a little about Bashevis Singer's relationship with the Yiddish language.

The thread also includes links to the film, the trailer for the film, and the Denver Jewish Film Festival, which is where I saw the film.
