Between the Temples follows Jason Schwartzman as a bereaved cantor at an upstate New York synagogue, who has lost his wife, can’t sing anymore, lives with his two mothers, and has a newfound taste for mudslide cocktails. While he keeps kosher and remains devout, his ennui-addled regression seems all but terminal until his 70-year-old grade school music teacher (Carol Kane) walks back into his life and becomes his new adult Bat Mitzvah student… and maybe something more.
The film is a portrait of love in a time of loss that is equal parts touching, cringingly hilarious, and effortlessly strange.
