Ajami
(2009)
|
Daniel M. Kimmel
|
Hollywood [may]think that Ajami is making a political statement... given the partnership of the directors. Unfortunately, it's not enough to make this a memorable film.

A Serious Man
(2009)
|
Daniel M. Kimmel
|
It's fair to ask - even beyond the gargoyles and caricatures who pass for Jewish people in the film - what the point of it all was.

Blessed Is the Match: The Life and Death of Hannah Senesh
(2008)
|
Daniel M. Kimmel
|
It is impossible not to be moved and inspired by this story, and saddened by a life cut short.

Arranged
(2007)

Daniel M. Kimmel

Maybe real life isn't as neat as portrayed here. In that case, the drawback is with reality, not the movie.

Yoo-Hoo, Mrs. Goldberg
(2009)
|
Daniel M. Kimmel
|
Although not forgotten in the broadcast history books, Berg's immense impact on mid-twentieth century American popular culture needs a fresh examination.

Lemon Tree
(2008)
|
Daniel M. Kimmel
|
It ought to be noted that Lemon Tree is an Israeli co-production...When a Palestinian can make a movie like [this]then perhaps we will be ready for peace.

My Father My Lord
(2007)

As sparse as a Torah narrative, it raises profound theological and emotional questions.

Beaufort

In the end [it] isn't about victory or defeat... It's about surviving another day, doing one's job, and getting back to family.

Sweet Mud
(2006)
|
Daniel M. Kimmel
|
If the film is an indictment of anything it is how the collective experience of the kibbutz is at odds with family loyalties.

O Jerusalem
(2006)
|
Daniel M. Kimmel
|
The need to touch on pivotal events makes this at times seem like history's 'greatest hits,' although the personal stories provide a narrative thread tying it all together.
