Guy Lodge Variety 09/29/2018
[Schleinzer's] tartly brilliant second feature is awash with slow-building irony, though as with his first, there's precious little mirth in its devastating kicker. Go to Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International 09/09/2018
Angelo is a mesmerising portrait of a man of quiet dignity whose very humanity is denied by those around him. Go to Full Review Radheyan Simonpillai NOW Toronto 09/08/2018
3/5
There's a cold soullessness in this opulent and scathing take on Angelo Soliman's history - and purposefully so. Go to Full Review Ernesto Diezmartinez Cine Vértigo 06/14/2019
1.5/4
"Directed with cold formalist distance by Schleinzer, Angelo is the obvious denunciation of the appropriation / exploitation of the Other". Go to Full Review Carlos Bonfil La Jornada 06/13/2019
In Angelo, the Austrian director explores and seeks to reverse the old myth of the wild, intrinsically good aborigine. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Luis Fernando Galván En Filme 06/05/2019

06/02/2019 Unnecessarily slow, nice story about a young black boy meant to be a slave. Some of the takes like they one with the candles, the chorus boys, and the number transitions are sooooo long! I couldn't help falling asleep! It is like an artsy version of boyhood. See more Read all reviews
