The Carpenter (2023) D “The Carpenter makes no attempts to authentically portray life and practices in ancient Israel. It doesn’t even portray biblical events. The two plot lines — MMA and Jesus — have seemingly nothing to do with each other.” – The Forward Nov 18, 2024 Full Review Hot Frosty (2024) 74% B “If 'Hot Frosty' had been this year's Hanukkah movie — most streaming platforms seem to make one per year, amidst the Christmas glut — there would have been so much more lore to mine.” – The Forward Nov 18, 2024 Full Review Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022) 46% D “The franchise has gone dark and self-serious, yet so unintelligible that any moral messaging has gone out the window...It’s impressive, honestly, to make an obvious Hitler figure so toothless.” – The Forward Aug 2, 2023 Full Review Call Me by Your Name (2017) 95% A+ “Luca Guadagnino’s lush Italian masterpiece, “Call Me by Your Name,” is full of romantic subtleties: long lingering looks, brief touches, meaning-laden passages read aloud. But nothing is ever fully overt...” – The Forward Aug 2, 2023 Full Review Sharp Stick (2022) 50% D+ “Beyond attempts to plumb the depths of Dunham’s psyche, it’s hard to figure out what to make of “Sharp Stick.” It’s visually stylized and compellingly strange, but it’s not clear what, exactly, it’s trying to challenge.” – The Forward Aug 2, 2023 Full Review Stutz (2022) 96% C- “Stutz has a strange amount of bravado for a therapist, talking frequently about his natural talent for therapy and the way ideas spontaneously come to him...especially with his invented vocabulary, he comes off more like a cult leader than a therapist. ” – The Forward Aug 2, 2023 Full Review Where Life Begins (2022) A “This delicacy makes Where Life Begins feel like a standout among contemporary portrayals of Hasidism...in Where Life Begins, you can’t help but feel the sanctity of Hasidic life when it’s set against lingering shots of the stunning Italian countryside.” – The Forward Aug 2, 2023 Full Review Alegría (2021) B “Melilla comes to life in Salama’s hands, the city itself becoming the most compelling character in the film...in the small, human moments, Alegría shines — just as the small, human moments keep Melilla balanced.” – The Forward Aug 2, 2023 Full Review Israelism (2023) A- “Unlike many other documentaries about Israel, Israelism isn’t about the conflict, or at least not exactly. Instead, it considers how American Jewish institutions position Israel, valorizing the IDF and leaving out the darker side of the occupation.” – The Forward Aug 2, 2023 Full Review Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) 70% B “Not much has changed for Indiana Jones. Admittedly, the relic in question is more niche than the Ark or the Holy Grail — but otherwise, The Dial of Destiny is right in the mold of every other Indiana Jones installment, a swashbuckling adventure film.” – The Forward Aug 2, 2023 Full Review Bawaal (2023) 21% “Bollywood is far from the only place where the Holocaust is used as a sort of morality play...while it’s bad that the movie glosses over and distorts history, it is far from the only piece of media to use the Holocaust as a plot device.” – The Forward Aug 2, 2023 Full Review
