Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt
Yedaya's prizewinning debut film is acted and directed with uncommon psychological realism.
Read Full Review >New York Post V.A. Musetto
Like mother, like daughter best sums up Or (My Treasure), a raw drama.
Read Full Review >Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker
Yedaya is respectful and sensitive of everyone in Or's life and creates a beautiful, complex and rich relationship between mother and daughter, loving and protective of each other, but not of themselves.
Read Full Review >Variety Lisa Nesselson
Consistently engaging, non-judgmental and cumulatively powerful two-hander marks a noteworthy feature debut for Israeli helmer Keren Yedaya.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Ken Fox
Israeli director Keren Yedaya's remarkable debut feature, which won the 2004 Cannes Film Festival Camera d'Or, is a powerful study of a teenager's willingness to do anything to save her mother, a Tel Aviv prostitute who may be well beyond salvation.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Keith Phipps
For long stretches, Or is a dialogue-heavy kitchen-sink drama, but its naturalistic style and unselfconscious performances give it an intensity that only builds as it progresses.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader Jonathan Rosenbaum
Insofar as they're implicitly the spoils of war, this movie seems to be meditating on the whys and hows of the spoiling process -- raising more questions than can possibly be answered, and in this sense, at least, far from dogmatic.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
A work of exceptional subtlety and is all the more captivating and heart-rending for being so.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Jessica Winter
The scoreless Or (My Treasure) consists solely of stationary shots that, while sometimes awkwardly composed, build in organic momentum and bracing detail.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Manohla Dargis
This well-meaning but irritatingly naïve feature delves into the horrors of prostitution, or more accurately, the filmmaker's horror about the subject.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle G. Allen Johnson
Suffers from long takes, no music score, naturalistic acting and an agenda so stifling it doesn't allow its characters to breathe.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Ella Taylor
Doggedly refusing artifice as if cinematic beauty were a filthy capitalist plot, Yedaya drowns her characters in realist grit, a colorless screenplay and no score to speak of, rendering this open book of a movie alienating in all the wrong ways.

Alan G. gave it a9:
daring, moving tale of mother and daughter struggles of survival in and out of the world of prostitution and drugs. difficult to watch at times like reality sometimes is...
