Shem Ratings & Reviews
Cinematical
Christopher Campbell
A lot of the film is just downright silly.
Filmcritic.com
Don Willmott
scenic and interesting in a Rough Guide to Eastern Europe sort of way
L.A. Weekly
Tim Grierson
Roboh's moralistic paean to Jewish self-knowledge is so solemnly high-minded that one almost feels bad admitting that the film's only spark comes from its occasional tawdry ludicrousness.
New York Times
Laura Kern
Daniel's character transformation, however limited (he ranges from complete to partial arrogant jerk), is far more credible than any of the film's half-baked attempts at morphing into a conspiracy thriller involving his great-grandfather.
Newsday
John Anderson
Several things are missing in Shem, most apparently a consistent tone of voice.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
Perhaps the most distinctive thing about Caroline Roboh's rambling follow-up to her 1983 debut Clementine Tango is that it features one of the least likable protagonists ever.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
A pointless hodgepodge, with a finale that will leave viewers scratching their heads.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
A muddle of good intentions and bad direction, this amateurish road movie follows a young Brit across Europe as he reconnects with his Jewish roots.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Shem is the flipside of the similarly juvenile My Summer of Love--condescending about sex and ostensibly reverential to faith.
