Film Reviews

As Film Reviewer for the Jewish Quarterly journal, I write features as well as a regular column covering the latest international releases of Jewish interest, including Israeli cinema. The JQ journal is subscription-only for print and online, and there’s also an online blog for which I write film-related content.
