The treasure is in the well-cast central duo.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 10, 2024

No longer having to live up to media hype, Dunham has become a terrific actress.

| Nov 15, 2024

Despite the heavy subject matter, you never get entirely pulled into the story; you’re always aware that it’s just a movie, that Dunham and Fry are just playing characters, regardless of whether they’re based on real people.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 17, 2024

The attempt to inject comedy into such a serious subject feels misplaced.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 7, 2024

Brett’s novel was praised for the delicacy with which it balanced the tragic and the ruefully sardonic in its discourse between the generations. In contrast, the film hammers home its every point.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 25, 2024

Through all the emotional ups and many downs of this trip through times and crimes, Dunham and Fry nag disagreements about her life and his flirtations, as well as their tears, to make them comfortably seem as if they’ve been together for years.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jul 7, 2024

Keen to explore her heritage and better understand her family's past, Ruth plans a busy itinerary of historical landmarks and her father's childhood haunts.

| Jul 7, 2024

An earnest but disappointing Holocaust drama on healing.

| Original Score: C+ | Jun 30, 2024

With his bushy beard, twinkling eyes, and booming Eastern European accent, Fry could be Tevye the milkman returned to the scene of the pogroms — philosophical, witty, and undeniably haunted.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 28, 2024

"Treasure" is best when Fry is onscreen. He delivers a rich and refined turn as a man who would rather not confront his past and unleash decades of generational trauma.

| Original Score: B- | Jun 27, 2024

You would think its director and writers would understand the inherent poignance of its premise. You should not roll your eyes at a film like this, but thanks to some fundamental miscalculations, that reaction is inevitable.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 25, 2024

A moving and often surprisingly funny character-driven story of intergenerational Holocaust trauma.

| Jun 21, 2024

An uncomfortable odd couple road trip feels leaden and disjointed, which is disappointing given the two gifted performers and an acclaimed team behind this misfire.

| Original Score: C- | Jun 21, 2024

Both leads are horribly miscast. Dunham drags out the same tired, unlikable character she’s been playing her entire career. This film often feels like an episode of “Girls” where Hannah Horvath goes to Lodz.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 20, 2024

Beautifully acted, the story plays out with honesty, offering insight into generational relationships and the importance of remembering history. It's also vividly directed by German filmmaker Julia von Heinz with strong period touches.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 20, 2024

While undoubtedly sincere and well-meaning, this father-daughter road movie proves an unwieldy blend of tragedy and comedy, barely hinting at the horrifying inheritance that must be borne by Holocaust survivors and their families.

| Original Score: C | Jun 20, 2024

The film trundles along with some very jarring cuts, it never feels like it quite knows how to end a scene.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 18, 2024

Neither Fry nor Dunham manage to disappear into their roles; and the film never really springs to life, plodding from moment to moment with leaden feet.

| Jun 17, 2024

Dunham and Fry, and their chemistry, save this overly Deux Ex Machina story of a Holocaust survivor and his daughter coming to terms. The dreariness of the cinematography is also notable, with these strangers in a strange-but-familiar land. Lena is back!

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 17, 2024

While Treasure sells a pat idea that genocidal, generational trauma can be healed in a single road trip to the scene of the crime, people do not always watch movies for realism, but as part of aspirational wishful thinking.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 16, 2024
