आलोचक समीक्षाएं

A surprisingly uplifting film about a very difficult topic, Youth In Oregon's remarkable ensemble cast elevate the story into something unique and profound.

Oregon is more than a bittersweet look at a man deciding to end his life before he’s too invalid to have a say in the matter: It’s a study of how plain ol’ stubbornness can keep a family forever brimming with dysfunction.

Youth in Oregon is a struggle to get through — in its frequently puzzling choices and missed opportunities — but it opens up and reveals itself with genuine catharsis in its closing that just, maybe, is worth the trip for the patient, forgiving viewer.

Is this all well-acted? It certainly is, especially by Langella. But all things being equal, I’d prefer to see him in a revival of “The Man Who Came To Dinner.”

The terrific cast is well worth watching, but everything else about this wayward movie mistake leaves you feeling just awful.

A drama that struggles to breathe life into its death-themed narrative.

Joel David Moore's film is too often distracted by irrelevant emotional grandstanding.

Maudlin and mannered, this contrived indie squanders another fine late-career performance from Frank Langella, dousing its treatment of the subject in affectations until it’s snuffed out any trace of genuine life.

Moore is primarily known as an actor but this is the third feature he’s directed, and he proves surprisingly unable to get layered performances out of some great actors.

A depressing slog that could have been so much more.
