1.
Cirkus Columbia
Portland Oregonian
02/10/12 Very Good "The lead performers bravely navigate the uncomfortable content, though the script has some implausible twists and a subplot about CB radios that doesn't go anywhere."
2. 06/03/11 Very Good "...intense... Through Schemel's story, we get a gritty look at the 1990s grunge scene, and the deadly cost it carried for some."
3. 06/01/11 Good (Not Great) "Talk about your complicated relationships.... a bittersweet love story that's a challenge to understand."
4.
Kings of Pastry
Portland Oregonian
10/29/10 Outstanding "...you might think pastry chefs are a silly lot, prone to panic attacks, flamboyant outbursts and a heck of a lot more drama than fondant and marzipan ought to inspire. But for the best French pastry chefs, getting elaborate desserts right is serious stuff."
5.
Undertow (Contracorriente)
Portland Oregonian
10/01/10 Outstanding "Imagine what the movie 'Ghost' might have been with infinitely better acting, an exotic setting, a gay twist and no silly pottery scene... At once eerie, intense and erotic..."
6.
Brotherhood (Broderskab)
Portland Oregonian
10/01/10 Outstanding "...intense... Thure Lindhardt and David Dencik are terrific in the lead roles, quietly grappling with the dichotomy of their violence toward minorities and their exploration of their own sexuality."
7.
Ajami
Portland Oregonian
04/09/10 Outstanding "...gripping... effectively shows 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."
