In "Abe" (2019), the film's ambition to weave together cultural exploration and a personal journey falls flat primarily due to Noah Schnapp's unconvincing portrayal of Abe. Schnapp's performance lacks the depth and authenticity required to embody the complexities of a character navigating his identity within a diverse cultural landscape. His portrayal feels wooden and disconnected, failing to convey the emotional depth and nuances essential to the role. The film's potential to delve into the intricacies of familial ties and cultural fusion is overshadowed by Schnapp's underwhelming acting. His inability to fully inhabit the character creates a jarring experience for viewers, preventing any genuine connection or empathy towards Abe's journey. While the premise holds promise, Schnapp's performance cripples the film's ability to resonate with audiences on an emotional or intellectual level. Ultimately, despite the film's aspirations, the lackluster portrayal of the central character leads "Abe" to stumble, leaving it with a regrettable 1/10 rating.

Good stories, really pack. the conflict that they choose to tell in this beautiful different background feels to heavy for this kind of movie theme but surprisingly was execute really well. i surprise this one take so fast. for my opinion if you go a little long enough the story could be more strong. good act from all of the actor, its broke me to see ben scene when he try to comfort the families. make me miss my old man. good act from noah schnapp.

The movie gives more voice to the Palestinians than the Israelis. For one thing, the Israeli grandmother (savta) is dying, so she is never to be seen. For another, there is much more dialog and passion for the Palestinian side of the family. The parents are always tense, from the beginning, as though they're always planning "what next" for their son, like he's some kind of experiment. The boy is a pawn in a sea of headstrong grandparents and clueless parents, who claim to be atheists or non-religious, while sacrificing their only child to his ravenous grandparents who want to push their own agendas, regardless of anything their children say. Noah Schnapp is ingenuous in his portrayal and frankly, carries the entire movie. Casting Dagmara Dominczyk in the mother's role was a bad call; not only was she not convincing, she looked much older than Arian Moayed and the same age as her mother-in-law, IMHO.

If you like to cook and enjoy a great family film this is it while staying at home. Most of all I love food and to cook and watching him grow into a better cook was fun to watch

This movie brings different subjects to the public. It is not only about food, but the relationship Abe has with it and his family, the feelings he hides and how food has changed his life. The script is well written and Fernando did a great job directing it. Furthermore, I loved the selection of the actors such as Noah Schnapp and Mark Margolis.

Enjoyed the movie but feel it could have been much more... Interesting to see him torn apart but together on religion however would have liked to see more about the food side - his enjoyment and what came of it. Just feel there was a bit too much story in, what could have been a fabulous foody story.....
