Wisely observant of human nature as it bounces between the leads, Gabi evokes Woody Allen with a more generous heart (and a lot more casual nudity). Full Review
The shock of recognition dissipates, to be replaced by the glance at the wristwatch. Full Review
I know that people like this exist, but, in terms of characters on the screen, I'm never shown why they need to. Full Review
Remarkably, the film gradually, effectively coheres, building to a climax at once unexpected yet integral to what has transpired before. Full Review
This is a movie that manages the neat trick of being impressive and infuriating at the same time. Full Review
The oscillation between focus on Sam and Gabi creates an uneven progression, although the contrast wisely displays the relativistic nature of age. Full Review
Gabi on the Roof in July projects its transparent character flaws far in advance, but the actual betrayals aren't what make this film interesting. Full Review
Evokes a New York sentimentalist tradition that mixes the edge of golden era Cassavettes with the nostalgia of Woody Allen--all of which owes eternal debt to the western European New Waves and Bergman. Full Review
