Ariel (Alan Sabbagh, Buenos Aires’ answer to Jonah Hill) quit believing the day his father Usher (Usher Barilka) chose the titular spot at a stranger’s minyan over a seat at his son’s grade-school pageant. Unless you count Eva (Julieta Zylberberg), the Orthodox and near-mute object of Ariel’s objectification, spirituality has little to do with the end result of the stodgy Manhattan-based economist’s return to his birthplace. It’s one thing for writer-director Daniel Burman to charm an audience by having Ariel blow a fleck of glitter off the face of the otherwise untouchable woman, another to tail her to a mikpah where his star proceeds to spy on her in various states of undress. Barilka spends 80 percent of his time offscreen barking orders over the phone, but the Godot eventually shows. If you’re in the market for an old-school reconciliatory comedy/drama between father and son, your ship’s come in. (2016) — Scott Marks
