Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:
- Chris Barsanti @ PopMatters
- Excerpt: Nathan Silver’s 1970s-styled throwback Between the Temples is a comedy of people awkwardly fumbling toward purpose, faith, and meaning.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Nathan Silver led his cast with a ‘scriptment,’ a treatment that allowed the actors to improvise dialogue to scripted situations, something that both allows the cast to sparkle and yet gives the film a loosey goosey, somewhat unfinished quality.
- [New] | Harrison Martin @ Flixfrog
- Excerpt: Between the Temples is a wacky look into the life of a widowed cantor on the verge of losing his faith and finding new love.
- Nell Minow @ moviemon.com
- Excerpt: In most movies, each detail and character propel the story forward and reinforce the point. But movies like this one amble along in a shaggy fashion, each detail and each excellent performance give us hints of the lives that happen outside the borders of the screen.
- Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: You almost can’t imagine how the rest of the film will match that prologue because it feels so meticulously constructed as a self-contained gag to introduce its tone and characters, but there’s really zero drop-off afterwards.
- Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: Between Two Temples, written and directed by Nathan Silver, explores this unexpected relationship at the intersection of faith, expectation, and love, using humor and heart to examine how what makes sense on paper is rarely what the heart yearns for.
- Dennis Schwartz @ dennisschwartzreviews
- Excerpt: How Ben regains his faith, overcomes his suicidal tendencies, deals with the different women in his life, and becomes a mensch, makes for an amusing and poignant film.
