New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman
Though the results are only moderately compelling, the film's problems stem not from a lack of ideological thrust, but rather from a protagonist who is so phenomenally unlikable.
The wonderfully drawn characters and their soap-opera entanglements are dryly amusing and well played.
A darkly comic tale of characters riven by divided loyalties and neurotic inhibitions.
Veteran stage, screen and TV actor Moshe Ivgi gives a sturdy performance as Moshe, a supposed tough guy who sobs when confronted by bank robbers.
Everyone believes Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau has been murdered, and Clouseau takes advantage, seeking to discover why somebody tried to kill him.
Akash, Sameer, and Sid are best friends in college. During the summer after graduation, tension builds as they each fall in love.
An adaptation of "12 Angry Men" set in contemporary Russia.
A bridegroom is possessed by an unquiet spirit in the midst of his own wedding celebration.
Two beloved women--his wife and his love--vie for a heroic Peshwa general as foreign invaders threaten the land.
Is there a love worth losing yourself for?
