    "The trailer looks hilarious!" is how I was sold on attending Between the Temples, a film in which Jason Schwartzman emotes depression and suicidal ideation from beneath the world's baggiest pair of Dockers, while Carole Kane does her best version of the Carole Kane thing. It was not a laugh riot.

    If I owned a movie theater I'd have a lot of fun showing double features. Harold and Maude + Between the Temples. Brokeback Mountain + God's Own Country. Both of these are like, Tragic Romance + Regular Romance that feels in response.

    Film #17: BETWEEN THE TEMPLES Carol Kane gives one of the best performances of 2024 in a hilarious, bittersweet comedy about a grieving widower who agrees to help his elementary school music teacher prepare for her long overdue bat mitzvah. Echoes of HAROLD & MAUDE, but it's own delightful thing.

    33. BETWEEN THE TEMPLES (Nathan Silver) I’ve been reviewing Silver’s quietly thorny, intimate films at Variety for years, so felt weirdly parental about this one most deservedly breaking out: Harold & Maude with its own defining conditions of time and culture.

    Jason Schwartzman and Carol Kane are fantastic in Between the Temples (2024), a movie that alternates between cringing anxiety and comfort. Shaky cam work and a dinner scene so cringe worthy it's a real experience. Thematically there's some stuff about Jewish faith that was over my head 🍿 #filmsky

    Between the Temples is as sweet & charming & full of love as everyone says. Carol Kane is always a reason to go to the movies, & Jason Schwartzman is sad & silly & vulnerable.

    Oh, it's beautiful. It was just reissued briefly at Film Forum in a 4K restoration I think from Kino Lorber, so maybe they'll be doing the BluRay. Did you catch BETWEEN THE TEMPLES? Carol Kane is wonderful in it. And every set of lesbian parents should be played by Caroline Aaron and Dolly De Leon

    Since this is making the rounds again, I wanted to point out that this quip's also applicable to the bubbling divide Jason Schwartzman experiences over Judaism between his mother Caroline Aaron and her recently-converted spouse Dolly DeLeon in Nathan Silver's wonderful 2024 film BETWEEN THE TEMPLES.

    66) Between the Temples. Enjoyable enough film about a grieving cantor delivering his former music teacher’s adult bat mitzvah. Starts promisingly then dissolves into a bit of a mess at the end. Firmly in that “an okay way to spend an evening at the movies, not good enough to watch at home” zone.

    I loved the 2024 film "Between the Temples," so I decided to check out his 2015 feature "Stinking Heaven," about a sober living community that falls to pieces. "Stinking Heaven" is abrasive and hard to take, but I thought it was fairly audacious. Not for all tastes, but definitely for mine.
