If you want my recommendation for a film not to watch, don’t bother watching Between The Temples. I just got back from watching it with John, and I honestly doubt I have ever seen a more boring film. It was so dull that there were points at which I seriously considered walking out. There was no plot. It was just a bunch of friends who happen to be Jewish interacting with one another. The film seemed to go out of its way to highlight how different or unusual the characters were in their Jewishness, yet didn’t seem to be making any discernible social, political or cultural points in doing so. It was so slow and drawn out that both John and I were glad to see the end credits roll.

You can hear what Mark Kermode made of the film here.
