I enjoyed this movie & the story it told about a young boy and a passion for learning to cook along with trying to satisfy his family and the variety of religious backgrounds they came from. It show the pressures as parents that we impose on our children sometimes along with the fact that they can see & hear us when we fight.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

It's a beautiful charming story about a 12 old who has more wits, love, compassion and brain than his whole religiously and culturally split and confronted family (Jews/Muslims/Palestinians). Too bad that this world has few of his kind and endless numbers of people like his grandparents.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Fabulosa historia sobre la pasión por la comida de un niño que pertenece a una familia judeo-musulmana y busca unir a su familia a través de su amor por lo culinario y por ellos (sin importarle realmente la orientación religiosa), suficiente para un gran argumento ¿no? (por cierto, apta para ver en familia).

With a more streamlined script, or even fewer characters and more developed relationships, "Abe" could have made a real impact. As it stands, there are too many cooks in the kitchen.

Boston Globe

A great measure of "Abe"'s success is that it made me hungry. More than that, it's the first movie in quite some time to make me smile.

Rated: 3.5/4

Los Angeles Times

The movie is apparently aimed at younger viewers with its clean, simplistic message of unity, but it's doubtful many kids (or adults) would want to sit through those tiresome shouting matches that overwhelm the film's other flavors.

It’s an enjoyable watch, but it’s missing that one ingredient that could take it to the next level.

Rated: 6/10

[Abe] is a palatable cinematic snack but makes a few rookie mistakes in its presentation.

Culture Mix

Anchored by an appealing performance by [Noah] Schnapp, Abe is an emotionally genuine movie that's worth seeking out if you like stories about people chasing their dreams despite dealing with a lot of personal turmoil.
