Gabriel often feels like a feat, for both writer/director Howe and Culkin. It's a movie that might not be easy to watch, but is well worth the effort. Read full review

IndieWire Eric Kohn

Gabriel never entirely compliments its eponymous subject with a story that can match his erratic mentality, but Howe's restrained approach is refreshingly unsentimental, never once creating the possibility of an easy resolution to the situation. Read full review

The Guardian Jordan Hoffman

Howe’s film is drenched in empathy, where violent actions aren’t exactly excused, but at least framed with understanding. Read full review

Mike D'Angelo

Gabriel, the first feature written and directed by Lou Howe, gives Culkin an opportunity to demonstrate serious range, and he takes full advantage; if this film doesn’t ignite his career, it’ll only be because too few people see it. Read full review

This film maintains its anxious themes throughout, which makes for some tedious stretches because the tension never breaks. Despite that, or maybe because of it, Gabriel is unexpectedly absorbing. Read full review

Robert Abele

Culkin's performance is never exploitative. His eyes often say everything, appearing simultaneously laser-focused and distant — he can't reconcile his brain with the world. Read full review

Clayton Dillard

The film wants to reveal the anguish of mental illness and infiltrate the mind of its protagonist through constant affirmation of his pain. Read full review
