Criticism

“Noble

in intention but crude in execution,

Parvez

Sharma's documentary about gay Muslim men and women chronicles a handful of outcasts and their personal "jihads" (in Arabic, the word means "struggle," not "holy war").

The accounts are powerful, but so many of the interviewees' faces are blurred to preserve their anonymity that it

feels like you're watching the film through a shower curtain

. Still

, it's hard not to feel gutted when the daughter of a gay South African man tells him he should be stoned and thrown off a mountain, as the Koran instructs

.”

The MAIN ConflictSlide19

lauraSlide20

mathilde

Mathilde strictly abides by the traditions of the Torah, and believes sexual pleasure is forbidden.

Ariel does not want to ask his wife to do things in bed that only he enjoys, and has an extramarital affair.

Mathilde seeks advice from the woman at the mikvah, or ritual bath, who corrects her and reassures her that Jewish law does not forbid pleasure.

Mathilde gains more comfort, and her marriage is saved.Slide21

Criticism

“In

"Little Jerusalem," a young Orthodox Jewish woman puts her faith in the Torah and the classics of European philosophy until neither suffices in the face of sexual desire.

The film keenly juggles

big issues, frank nudity, the specter of anti-Semitism in

contempo

France, and more. Scripter-

helmer

Karin

Albou's

assured feature debut, which explores compound emotional disarray, will be a conversation starter for fests in search of new talent and a given for Jewish fests.

Juxtaposing the most ancient of rituals with modern concerns,

the film

sharply portrays a low-income suburb outside Paris that, for most viewers, will be a visit to another planet.

Highlights

include scenes at the ritual baths where an unnamed woman wonderfully played by

Aurore

Clement reminds sexually reserved Mathilde that God wants women to have a blast in the bedroom, assuring her that Jewish law is in favor of sexual pleasure -- within the confines of marriage.In what is arguably her best performance since "Van Gogh," Zylberstein brings Mathilde to life with grace and fervor. As the smart and beautiful but tortured Laura, Valette winningly conveys a serious teen's search for answers.” - Lisa Nesselson, VarietySlide23
