Abe Ratings & Reviews
IndieWire
Jude Dry
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.
Cambridge Day
Tom Meek
Light and lean, with just enough bite.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
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.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Ordoña
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.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
'Abe' is a pretty good food movie, not without its problems, but the food part of it comes through beautifully, and it's overall quite satisfying.
The Playlist
Warren Cantrell
Abe isn't groundbreaking, just pleasant and enjoyable, and really, that's okay.
National Review
Kyle Smith
Abe boxes itself into a corner it can't get out of, so the hurried third act amounts to a cop-out that avoids the conflict.

Tomris Laffly
Abe could have been one unforgettable meal, but instead, its aftertaste is barely memorable.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
The recipe is appetizing enough, but the modest charms in this coming-of-age saga are served only in small portions.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Abe is one of those movies that come on unheralded and leave you in a state of pleasant surprise.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
It's sweet ... but Abe is also a bit too obvious and manipulative on too many levels.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
A spiritually inspiring story about how a young man tries to bring his diverse family together through food.
San Francisco Examiner
Anita Katz
Overall, the film misses nearly as often as it charms.
Common Sense Media
Andrea Beach
Gentle story of family unity has some strong language.
San Francisco Chronicle
Soleil Ho
The more subtle touches, like the insistence on intimate, handheld camera shots throughout the film, work well to pull us into the child's perspective.
New York Times
Devika Girish
A surprisingly joyless production, lacking the stylistic and emotional flair to deliver even on the cheesy, feel-good promise of the setup.
New York Post
Johnny Oleksinski
With Schnapp's work in the title role, I found myself believing that a 12-year-old Brooklyn boy just might be able to solve the world's thorniest conflict with an appetizer.
Houston Chronicle
Cary Darling
Like a chef who surprises the palate with an unexpected flavor, (the director and writers) turn what could have been just a heavy-handed after-school special about tolerance and turn it into something resembling real life.
Variety
Peter Debruge
Among "Abe's" strengths is the fact the film never talks down to its child characters or the audience.
The Hollywood Reporter
Justin Lowe
An appetizing fusion of diverse influences.
