Magnolia at the Modern: Between the Temples

“Jason Schwartzman gives Carol Kane a belated bat mitzvah in a winningly off-kilter comedy. Buoyed by the unlikely chemistry between its two stars, this alternately raucous and tender ‘Harold and Maude’ riff is the warmest work to date from microbudget auteur Nathan Silver.” —Guy Lodge, Variety

A cantor (Jason Schwartzman) in a crisis of faith finds his world turned upside down when his grade school music teacher (Carol Kane) re-enters his life as his new adult bat mitzvah student.
