It's All So Quiet (2013) 73% C+ EDIT “Willems' portrayal is expressionless, coming across as more boring than stoic.” – Oregonian Feb 11, 2014 Full Review Le Week-End (2013) 89% A- EDIT “Veteran actors Jim Broadbent and Lindsay Duncan are terrific in "Le Week-End" as the couple, capturing the irritations that build up on long-term relationships, while still finding room to laugh at each other's eccentricities.” – Oregonian Feb 4, 2014 Full Review Wajma: An Afghan Love Story (2013) B+ EDIT “It's gut-wrenching stuff, and it's clear it hits close to home for the young actors.” – Oregonian Feb 4, 2014 Full Review Laurence Anyways (2012) 84% B EDIT “The performances by Melvil Poupaud and Suzanne Clment as the struggling lovers are unforgettable.” – Oregonian Feb 14, 2013 Full Review Something in the Air (2012) 81% C+ EDIT “Other films have more effectively captured the tumult of France's student uprisings; this one falls short.” – Oregonian Feb 14, 2013 Full Review The Angels' Share (2012) 88% B+ EDIT “Although some of the accents are so thick it's difficult to understand the dialogue (where are the subtitles when we need them?) the performances feel genuine.” – Oregonian Feb 7, 2013 Full Review Caesar Must Die (2012) 92% A EDIT “For a movie with such a brisk pace -- it clocks in at just 76 minutes -- "Caesar Must Die" has surprising depth ...” – Oregonian Feb 7, 2013 Full Review Lore (2012) 94% B- EDIT “Unfortunately, Saskia Rosendahl plays the title character as an emotionless blank slate, while her siblings come off as brats, making it difficult to feel compassion for her physical and emotional struggles.” – Oregonian Feb 7, 2013 Full Review Ajami (2009) 97% A- EDIT “Filmmakers Scandar Copti and Yaron Shani, who also wrote the story, effectively show how, in a tinderbox fueled by racial and religious suspicions, quiet lives can be upended by mere chance, and how constant, random violence feeds upon itself.” – Oregonian Apr 8, 2010 Full Review Hallam Foe (2007) 73% B- EDIT “Director David Mackenzie's complex story is never sure exactly what tone to strike.” – Oregonian Sep 5, 2008 Full Review Shelter (2007) 58% B+ EDIT “There's real chemistry between the two actors.” – Oregonian Apr 11, 2008 Full Review Under the Same Moon (2007) 71% B- EDIT “First-time director Patricia Riggen uses parallel story lines to tell the mother's and son's tales -- mom looks for her next job while the boy evades immigration workers, druggies and perverts.” – Oregonian Apr 4, 2008 Full Review The Man You Had in Mind (2006) B+ EDIT “The overall impression is that long-term gay relationships are somehow heroic, and while that's no more the case than in the straight world, there are enough sweet moments to make this homegrown film worth catching.” – Oregonian Jun 22, 2007 Full Review
