Praying with Lior an engrossing, wrenching and tender documentary introduces Lior Liebling, also called "the little rebbe." Lior has Down syndrome, and has spent his entire life praying with utter abandon. Is he a "spiritual genius" as many around him say? Or simply the vessel that contains everyone's unfulfilled wishes and expectations? Lior - whose name means "my light" - lost his mother at age six, and her words and spirit hover over the film. While everyone agrees Lior is closer to God, he's also a burden, a best friend, an inspiration, and an embarrassment, depending on which family member is speaking. As Lior approaches Bar Mitzvah, the Jewish coming-of-age ceremony different characters provides a window into life spent "praying with Lior."

If you like to keep up on your Saturday Night Live news, you'll be happy to know that fantastic New York stand-up comedian John Mulaney has been hired as a writer (as well as UCBT vet Bobby Moynihan as an actor) for the upcoming season. Besides getting me really excited for this year of the show -- Mulaney is seriously hilarious, see him live if you can -- that makes now a good time to muse on the subsequent careers of SNL non-cast writers, a legacy far less-examined than that of the performers. Because while a handful of them have gone on to more visible careers , they're much more likely to end up writing for a sitcom or late night show and remain as invisible to you as they've always been.
