[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.

Angelo is a mesmerising portrait of a man of quiet dignity whose very humanity is denied by those around him.

3/5

There's a cold soullessness in this opulent and scathing take on Angelo Soliman's history - and purposefully so.

1.5/4

"Directed with cold formalist distance by Schleinzer, Angelo is the obvious denunciation of the appropriation / exploitation of the Other".

In Angelo, the Austrian director explores and seeks to reverse the old myth of the wild, intrinsically good aborigine. [Full Review in Spanish]

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.
