Cathleen Falsani finds that the movie version of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg misses the very point of the social network: to reconnect with people with whom we already have a relationship.

The Coen brothers’ new movie “A Serious Man” wrestles with spiritual questions without coming up with simple answers, writes religion columnist Cathleen Falsani.
