Or, My Treasure

This movie is excellent movie enjoy but you need a strong stomic to watch so be a wear of the movie it is very sexuality not for kids at all do not bring kids only adults you need a good head to focus enjoy no girl friend recommended enjoy if girls watch it remember its only a movie not real life . Nutty strong

Soooo very, incredibly, unrelentingly, depressing and yet boring. Slow paced, somewhat poorly acted. Do yourself a huge favor and don't waste precious moments of your limited lifespan watching this.

This story had heart and soul and a real sense of family. The relationship between mother and daughter was well developed in a way. I can see the reasoning behind both characters' actions throughout the story. But it was a little unclear of why they were in the situation they were in, and why they didn't do something to remedy it. I didn't particularly like the choices the characters made near the end of the movie, but not all stories are happy and not everyone makes the right choices. At least, the choices they made in this movie were backed by actions that had occurred. The other two movies I reviewed today there was no real reason or point to the decisions the characters make, and in this one there are. I enjoyed the movie and would recommend it to a lot of people. Some of the acting is less the stellar but after all it is an indy film. But I can see why it did well at festivals.

Moving story about life in crisis between a daughters love for her mother and trying to get her off the streets and falling into

Four stars (with flaws) for it's unapologetic exploration of a difficult subject and the real world implications of the choices available to these women. It was well paced, believable and troubling. The only aspect about it that gives me pause was how it glossed over the motivations of the characters without offering any background information as to how they got there. I understand that the girl struggled with self image (a byproduct of being raised by a prostitute) yet she was far more functional, capable and mature than her mother. Her lack of self seemed out of character with what was portrayed otherwise. I accept that perhaps the point of it is to suggest that this trait trumps all others. I just feel like either I missed something or they didn't give enough information. Still, a very solid portrayal of a universal reality of life. The film remains neutral to the issues and respects the viewer enough to let them decide what they should feel about it.

Oh gosh, what a movie. The writing and directing are superb, and the acting is fantastic. I was mesmerized. WATCH IT NOW!!!!

Disappointed

This movie brings to the surface the life of a young woman and her prostitute mother who has been downtrodden by a hypocrite society. Sex sells and yet the women who supply that sex are chastised, abused, and victimized. It is not preachy but just a very real and sad story about Or a young woman trying her best to get out of the cycle of poverty and abuse that eludes her. I love the subtle way that this movie exposes societal ills while showing the nuances of Israeli psyche and how they live their daily lives. I highly recommend this movie.
