    Next Year Jerusalem
    Next Year Jerusalem offers little insight into its putative protagonists, and even less into Israel.

    Visions of Mary Frank
    The film isn’t so much a vision as a conversation, and it isn’t revelatory, but it’s engaging.

    Shirin in Love
    A pallid romantic comedy possessed of neither imagination nor heart, it stumbles, like its star, from one familiar setpiece to another with a kind of dutiful, joyless resignation.

    Welcome to the Jungle
    The film is hyper-aware of the ridiculousness of the patriarchal obsession with masculinity-as-penis-size—and yet, in the end, and rather helplessly, it’s still mired in a banal narrative of masculine self-actualization.

    Old Goats
    The semi-documentary format and the cast’s age could have been used to undermine or examine the ways male bonding in films is used to erase or denigrate women. Instead, the twists are simply used to excuse the usual tropes.

    The Rocket
    The Rocket is a well-constructed delivery system for sparkly cheer, but it lacks a more substantial payload.

    Nuclear Nation
    Despite its limitations, Nuclear Nation remains a quiet, painful reminder that disasters aren’t disasters because of the sound and excitement, but because of the blank spaces they leave in people’s lives.

    Caucus
    It feels like 100 minutes of arch nudges, a highlight reel from Politicians Say The Darndest Things. Political junkies may find that appealing, but for more general viewers, the film—like Rick Santorum’s campaign—feels largely irrelevant.
