'Köln 75': The unlikely story behind Keith Jarrett's iconic concert - review
Köln 75, directed by Israel-born, New York-based Ido Fluk, is a little like The Big Short at times, in that it features moments when various characters stop the action and break the fourth wall.
'Tuner' mixes classical music, crime, and Dustin Hoffman - review
What to watch this week: Gal Gadot buoyant in an otherwise sinking ship in 'In the Hand of Dante'
‘Sentimental Value’ is a beautiful drama of redemption in a show-biz family - review
'A Brighter Tomorrow': A rare feel-good film that makes you think - review
A Brighter Tomorrow is a low-key look at a director and his crises at home and on the set as he searches for a happy ending.
‘Seven Blessings’ tells the story of twisted family tradition - review
Seven Blessings focuses on a Moroccan family in Israel and shows how tradition can be used in a particularly twisted and damaging way.
'The Mountain': Seeking nature, getting some sci-fi - review
While the story of a man who makes a major life change could have been interesting enough to be the focus of an entire movie, The Mountain suffers from pacing that is – forgive the pun – glacial.
‘Golda’: Helen Mirren triumphs as Israel’s late prime minister - review
Helen Mirren delivers an Oscar-worthy performance as Israeli prime minister Golda Meir and is unrecognizable as the barrier-shattering politician.
Gal Gadot kicks her way through ‘Heart of Stone’
The new movie is light years better than Gadot’s last Netflix flick, Red Notice, although that is an extremely low bar.
‘Past Lives’: When childhood sweethearts reconnect - review
Past Lives teases the implications of a Korean concept called “in-yun,” something akin to the Jewish “bashert.”
Disney’s new film adapted from ride fails to move the spirit
The film gets progressively zanier but not more enjoyable. It becomes harder and harder to remain invested in the story.
'Barbie' sets records, 'Oppenheimer' strong in box office battle
The "Barbenheimer" frenzy, over two highly anticipated but completely different movies opening simultaneously, had theaters buzzing.
The Hamm-Fey reunion in Maggie Moore(s) is a flop
It gives me no joy to report that the movie is a disappointment, a leaden pastiche of Coen brothers’ films.
'The Eight Mountains': An arthouse bromance that scales the heights - review
Based on an award-winning novel by Paolo Cognetti, it is slow-paced and gorgeously photographed, but it has its share of magical moments and well-played scenes if you have the patience to wait.
