Mama, a powerful new Israeli drama opening at theaters throughout the country on Thursday, stars one of Israel’s greatest actresses, Evgenia Dodina. She reminds me of Isabelle Huppert, as she is always good, no matter what the part or the movie, and has a commanding, distinctive presence. I’m always happy when I see she has been cast in a movie, and Mama, written and directed by Or Sinai, is a wonderful showcase for her talents.
