Movie Reviews

SPOILERS AHEAD: The film, Marvel’s first take on a pseudo-horror genre, has an eerie, creepy-crawly feel, with a dark grey-and-red color palette tinting most scenes.

The point is, survival stories often hinge on coincidences and how much you can accept the ones in this movie is very personal.

The visual style of Charlotte is obviously inspired by Salomon’s creations, but it does not convey their unique beauty.

The Survivor is a much higher-profile film than other boxing-related Holocaust movies and it is anchored by Ben Foster’s tour-de-force performance.

While Michael pinpoints Tel Aviv as the source of his ennui, a visit to his familiarly dysfunctional family suggests many other causes.

With Three Floors, Moretti moves the setting of Nevo’s novel to Rome, but he is quite faithful to the spirit and structure of the book.

Romantic comedy is a genre that few Israeli directors have attempted.

It was clearly influenced by the groundbreaking film in this new genre, Ari Folman’s 2008 Waltz with Bashir.

The film moves from sequence to sequence, with a pulsing pop music score that does little to distract from how repetitive and obvious most of the screenplay is.

"All Eyes Off Me," "Black Notebooks," and "Mr. Kohl's Final Hour" are all playing in movie theaters across Israel now.
