Tomato	Arranged (2007)	"Maybe real life isn't as neat as portrayed here. In that case, the drawback is with reality, not the movie."	Daniel M. Kimmel
Tomato	The Band's Visit (2007)	"...a hopeful film that looks forward to the day when Israelis and Arabs are at peace and can focus on the little victories and setbacks of everyday life."	Daniel M. Kimmel
Tomato	Beaufort (2008)	"In the end [it] isn't about victory or defeat... It's about surviving another day, doing one's job, and getting back to family."	Daniel M. Kimmel
Tomato	Blessed Is the Match: The Life and Death of Hannah Senesh (2009)	"It is impossible not to be moved and inspired by this story, and saddened by a life cut short."	Daniel M. Kimmel
Tomato	Free Land (2007)	"It's to the credit of [director] Christophe Malavoy... that the focus remains on ordinary people trying to survive in extraordinary circumstances."	Daniel M. Kimmel
Tomato	Fugitive Pieces (2008)	"...a drama about good people struggling to make the right choices in life."	Daniel M. Kimmel
Tomato	The Lemon Tree (2008)	"It ought to be noted that Lemon Tree is an Israeli co-production...When a Palestinian can make a movie like [this]then perhaps we will be ready for peace."	Daniel M. Kimmel
Tomato	My Father My Lord (2008)	"As sparse as a Torah narrative, it raises profound theological and emotional questions."	Daniel M. Kimmel
Tomato	O Jerusalem (2007)	"The need to touch on pivotal events makes this at times seem like history's 'greatest hits,' although the personal stories provide a narrative thread tying it all together."	Daniel M. Kimmel
Tomato	The Quarrel (1991)	"[T]wo characters [who] care deeply about finding meaning and goodness in a world where a Holocaust could take place."	Daniel M. Kimmel
Splat	The Reader (2008)	"...it is a movie of incredible moral obtuseness."	Daniel M. Kimmel

Tomato	The Singing Blacksmith (1938)	"...a fun slice of Jewish movie history that can still be enjoyed today. They really don't make them like this any more."	Daniel M. Kimmel
Tomato	Sixty Six (2008)	"...the sort of Jewish film that the whole family can enjoy without feeling they're fulfilling an obligation to see it."	Daniel M. Kimmel
Tomato	Surfwise (2008)	"Okay, you think your family is meshuggah? Just meet the Paskowitz clan."	Daniel M. Kimmel
Tomato	Sweet Mud (2006)	"If the film is an indictment of anything it is how the collective experience of the kibbutz is at odds with family loyalties."	Daniel M. Kimmel
Tomato	Tevye (1939)	"One would have to have a heart of stone not to be moved."	Daniel M. Kimmel

Tomato	Yoo-hoo, Mrs. Goldberg (2009)	"Although not forgotten in the broadcast history books, Berg's immense impact on mid-twentieth century American popular culture needs a fresh examination."	Daniel M. Kimmel
-	You Don't Mess With The Zohan (2008)	"It's hard to imagine any pro-Palestinian filmmaker turning out a movie, a comedy no less, condemning the extremism of Hamas while calling for peace with Israel."	Daniel M. Kimmel
