Movie-goers left screenings of the Barbie movie with a multitude of reactions. Some felt empowered to make change, others felt uncomfortable with the movie and with how it made them feel.

The film is inclusive in terms of race, sexuality, income, and more. However,  Max Broussard, the high school’s “king" embodies many of the worst stereotypes that Jews face.

What’s frightening about 2001 film, "The Believer,"  is that struggling with the idea of God as all-powerful is far from a unique experience.

Barbie's core message that women can transcend their “assigned” roles and defy societal double standards may not have landed with everyone.

Gretchen's Judaism is surface level at best, and yet, I can’t help but relate to her.

Like all kinds of media that seek to portray underrepresented perspectives, there is good representation and bad representation.

These fun movies from the early 2000s are still watched frequently as they are thought to be timeless classics, but the awkward and problematic comments have yet to be addressed.

Between using atrocities as a way to create romantic drama and its rush to excuse antisemitism, The Exception is a movie that never should have left the writer's room.

The film The Fifth Element creates an aspirational society in which a woman does not feel exposed or sexualized because of what she wears. I want that for all of us. 

Watching the Hallmark movie Eight Gifts of Hanukkah, I felt like I could relate spiritually to a Jewish character portrayed in mainstream media for the first time. 

Leftist videos on YouTube were key ingredients in developing my political outlook, but there is a palpable lack of any Jewish voices.

After several attempts, the Hallmark Channel finally carves out a respectable place for Hanukkah . But is this the best we can hope for?
