Reception

Critical reception for The Oregonian was mixed; the film holds a rating of 46/100 on Metacritic and 50% "rotten" on RottenTomatoes, based on 4 reviews from both sites.[5][6] Common criticisms centered around the film's surreal nature,[7] and Variety magazine commented that "once it’s clear The Oregonian will offer no real storyline or explanations, viewer patience wears thin."[8] Dread Central criticized the film's characters, commented that other than "the main character and the old lady, none of the weirdos bring anything to the table".[9] Screen Daily and IndieWire both gave positive reviews for The Oregonian,[10] and IndieWire opined that while distributors wouldn't likely enjoy the film, "Genre-friendly festivals will eat it up."[11]
