Preview: Holy Rollers (2010)

Synopsis:

A group of Hasidic Jews delve into the dangerous trade of drug smuggling and threaten to upset their community and their families.

• Poster: C

Review:

Where any of these images come from is a mystery as they are not in the trailer. Although the colorful insets in the letters of the word HOLY are interesting, they are at odds with the rest of the poster around it and that main image doesn't fit the themes of the film very well either.

• Trailer: C

Review:

When we complain about movies not finding an original voice in modern filmmaking, this is the kind of film that makes us regret lamenting for such. Although it seems to have a popular critical following and may be better than appearances would suggest, the trailer is dismally off-putting and rather ludicrous in concept.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
