	Media	Author	Review
		Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter	"Somehow poor casting and weak direction manage to flub a very promising premise, one that feels timely in the light of current debates around Jewish identity"
		Tim Robey Telegraph	"Lena Dunham and Stephen Fry star in Julia von Heinz's topical – yet emotionally stilted – drama about the legacy of anti-Semitism in Poland (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Guy Lodge Variety	"A film with heart but no real teeth, the commendable sensitivity of which turns too easily toward the sentimental"
		Wendy Ide Screendaily	"A curiously inert work, a film that feels as emotionally grey and underlit as its cinematography"
		Stephanie Bunbury Deadline	"Lena Dunham And Stephen fry team up for a strangely flat father-daughter road movie"
		Ben Croll The Wrap	"The self-contained 'Treasure' ambles along on the strength of a fine, self-contained script and two winning performers, without ever reflecting or commenting on the historical weight it sets out to explore."
		Ola Salwa Cineuropa	"A noble yet botched attempt at a family tragicomedy"
