“…This movie works.
[The Gray Area is] a decent drama that
finds its fascination in the way we mature.”
Bill Gibron, DVD Verdict
“A sleek, crisp, well-constructed drama shot in Portland
for $40,000, it’s an implicit rebuke to every filmmaker
who tries to equate sloppiness and authenticity.”
Marc Mohan, The Oregonian
“Stellar filmmaking on a truly independent level.”
The Vocabulariast, MovieCynics.com
“All films on an independent level should
look, sound, and feel like The Gray Area…”
Podcast Review, Getyourfilmfix.com
“The Gray Area is a well-rounded
low-budget indie film that is on par with
anything a big-budget drama could deliver.”
Bobby Bless, Independent Film Review
“This movie has a singular visual appeal
from which I really do hope
other movies can take a lesson.”
Michael McCann, Getyourfilmfix.com
“…A well-shot drama that appears to have an
actual budget and makes decent use of
its Portland-bred talent.”
Noah Dunham, Portland Mercury Review
“[The Gray Area] is formally handsome—
more than impressive for a low-budget project.”
