ABE (World-Wide All Media Release USA 2019)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.0|5.0 Starsìììì 

Abe—offbeat, yet entertaining—introduces Noah Schnapp as its main actor with a full cast that completely complements his acting ability. The presentation straightforwardly approaches its subject matter and, while it does not deeply delve into the subject matter, respectfully and lightly investigates a common marital challenge found within the larger universal setting. The theme of the movie places a small bandage on a very large challenge, but the attempt is there and, oddly, is enough.
