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

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

Chicago Reader - Jonathan Rosenbaum

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

L.A. 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. Read full review
