'The Stamp Thief': Will a rag-tag team of LA Jews get lucky in Poland?

Assessment

A documentary about a treasure hunt for stolen Holocaust stamps sounds like an unlikely blend of heist comedy and historical reckoning. The involvement of a Seinfeld producer suggests the film may lean into absurdity rather than solemnity. What is at stake is whether this rag-tag team can actually recover physical artifacts of theft, and whether the film can treat the subject with appropriate gravity while keeping its rollicking tone. Watch for how the film balances its surreal caper elements against the weight of what was stolen.
