Reception
The film has a 71% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 34 reviews.[4]
Jude Dry of IndieWire graded the film a C+ and wrote, "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.[3]
Tomris Laffly of RogerEbert.com awarded the film two stars and wrote, "Abe could have been one unforgettable meal, but instead, its aftertaste is barely memorable."[5]
Peter Debruge of Variety gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Among Abe's strengths is that the film never talks down to its child characters or the audience."[1]
Dante James of Film Threat rated the film a 6 out of 10 and wrote, "Would I recommend Abe? Yes and no. I think Abe is a movie that you can watch with your entire family, which is surprisingly in short demand right now."[6]
Justin Lowe of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a positive review: "An appetizing fusion of diverse influences."[7]
