Hasidic drug smugglers.
“You are a liar and a criminal. You are not my son.”

I’m not sure how close Holy Rollers comes to the actual events that it’s based on, but it’s an interesting flick. It really doesn’t do much more than the many movies that chronicle the rise and fall of a drug dealer that came before, if I’m being honest. You have your innocent young man who’s seduced and corrupted by the (seemingly) easy money of drugs (ecstacy, in this instance), that he’s introduced to by a shady friend, and most of the consequences play out in exactly the way you would expect them to and have seen before. But the setting among the Hasidic Jew community of New York gives the movie a unique spin that (at least for me) made it something other than the cookie-cutter story it could have been.

Jesse Eisenberg was totally believable as the initially pure-hearted main character whose desire to make more money leads him away from his family and the life he values. It was a good role for him, but it didn’t really require him to stretch beyond his characters in Adventureland or Zombieland. Which isn’t to say that he’s not good here, he just gives a very familiar performance. I hear he plays a very different character than his usual in The Social Network, though, so hopefully my fears of him being forever bound by one particular character type are unfounded.  

Ari Graynor was the reason why I initially wanted to see the movie (big-time fan, the girl great), but I have to admit that her character was pretty one-dimensional and didn’t really give her much to work with. The same goes for Justin Bartha’s character and most of the others in the movie: they’re not really written as whole people. They’re given one or two qualities and everything they do stems exactly from their total greed, purity, etc. It would have been nice to see some more “complete” characters, but that’s my only real complaint about the film.

I liked the documentary-like quality of the camera work; if almost made it seem like I was watching the movie unfold in real-time. And as I said before, the setting and context the story plays out in was Holy Rollers’ biggest strength, in my opinion. How much you enjoy it will depend largely on how much interest you still have in these kinds of stories, as it admittedly doesn’t rise out the familiar trappings and scenarios of similar movies. I still found it to be pretty entertaining, though.

Entertaining & powerful film with a fantastic cast
Continuing his run as one of the best up-and-coming young actors in Hollywood, Jesse Eisenberg (‘Zombieland,’ ‘The Social Network’) stars in this true story as Sam Gold, a Hacidic Jew who mistakenly gets caught up in the world of drug trafficking for an Israeli drug cartel after accepting a “medical job” from his friend & neighbour Yosef (Justin Bartha of ‘National Treasure’).

After only about a decade in the film business, Jessie Eisenberg has already starred in twenty films, has headed up one of the most successful horror films ever (‘Zombieland,’ NOT ‘Cursed’), has been pegged as a possible frontrunner for the Best Actor Academy Award (for ‘The Social Network’), and has worked under such great directors as Wes Craven, David Fincher, M. Night Shyamalan, and Noah Baumbach. At only 27 years of age, this is a pretty fantastic start to a resumé. Eisenberg continues his run of successful film-picking with this little indie gem ‘Holy Rollers.’ Many stories are told over & over again and become repetitive & stale unless there is a distinct separation that makes the new telling worthwhile. In this case, the story of a naïve young man caught up in a world of drugs is nothing new. However, throwing this idea into the society of something so otherworldly conservative as that of Orthodox Judaism places the film on another level entirely. The story is told very well by screenwriter Antonio Macia whose only other film ‘Anne B. Real,’ shockingly enough, is currently residing on IMDb’s bottom 100 films of all time. Macia’s pacing, dialogue, and storytelling abilities must have improved vastly to rise above such an embarrassing beginning in this business.

Rookie director Kevin Asch also did a fine job with this first directorial effort. His grasp on the material and translation of it to the screen was a prime example of what young directors can do to make a film something special. Along with cinematographer Ben Kutchins, Asch superbly captured the international settings the film trots through, including the dingy areas of New York City & the Red Light district of Amsterdam. One issue the film does face comes from its drastically short runtime. Coming in at just under 90 minutes, the film does not have the length to fully flesh out everything the story had to offer.

What stands apart in this film, though, above Asch’s direction & Macia’s script, is the talented cast who deliver superbly engaging performances all around. Jesse Eisenberg has, for several years, been a favourite of mine among the slew of young actors. He, for instance, managed to make an otherwise dreadful film like Wes Craven’s ‘Cursed’ into something at least a bit more watchable. Alongside Justin Bartha, Jason Fuchs (who plays Yosef’s younger brother Leon), and Danny A. Abeckaser, Eisenberg truly pulls the audience into the story and greatly deepens it. Without the fine performances this cast put forth, ‘Holy Rollers’ would have lost a lot of the good it had going for it.

Overall, ‘Holy Rollers’ is an entertaining & powerful drama that goes above & beyond much of its recent independent competitors.

Final Verdict: 8/10.
