Oscar Predictions: Between the Temples

The religious themed dramedy Between the Temples premiered at Sundance in January and it receives limited theatrical engagements this weekend. Nathan Silver directs and cowrites with a cast led by Jason Schwartzman and Carol Kane. Costars include Dolly de Leon (who probably came close to a Supporting Actress nod for 2022’s Triangle of Sadness), Caroline Aaron, Robert Smigel, and Madeline Weinstein.

Reviews are mostly strong as it sits with 86% on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics are particularly kind to Schwartzman and Kane. The former is, of course, a Wes Anderson staple. The latter is a veteran actress whose sole Oscar nod in Supporting Actress came nearly 50 years ago for Hester Street.
