Movie Reviews of Next Year in Jerusalem
Movie Review: Next year hire actors that can act and a director that can direct
Summary: 2 Stars
A good story, plot, and scene selection which highlights both the conflict of homosexuality with a traditional, orthodox Jewish family and the coming out process of their oldest son. However, the movie is ruined by poor, over-acted performances by the physically attractive principals and over-the-top stereotypical "Jewish-ghetto" behavior by the parents, uncle, grandfather, and rabbi. The best, and most believable performances are delivered by the broken fiancee and the two brothers. The camera angles and lighting in the home apartment scenes are distracting and someone should have told them to turn off the ceiling fan / light combo during shooting! The obvious low-budget does not distract from the storytelling but the acting does.
Summary of Next Year in Jerusalem
Two Men...Two Realities...One Explosive Secret.Charlie lives in the West Village, openly gay to his friends and casual encounters, yet conveniently hiding his Orthodox Jewish background, even going by a gentile version of his given name.
Manny, devout to his upbringing, is set to marry Rivka, the Rabbi s daughter. But Manny has a secret only Charlie can understand.
Charlie s mother (Georgina Spelvin) pressures him to come to the family Passover seder, where he meets Manny. And there begins an intimate relationship that both try to hide from their strictly traditional families. A relationship that will change each of their lives forever.
