In 'Between the Temples,' a Shabbat dinner scene exemplifies the Jewish Comedy of Embarrassment with its blend of cringey generational clashes, underscoring the film's humor and human depth.
Carol Kane, embodying Carla Kessler, is not just an object of affection but a reflection of the film's exploration of human relationships amid cultural stereotypes and personal grief.
The film walks a tightrope between humor and the complexities of human emotions, particularly through the character of Ben Gottlieb, who grapples with his own depression after loss.
'Between the Temples' combines generational clashes and familiar stereotypes in Jewish comedy, but it does so with affection, humor, and a nuanced understanding of its characters.
