Film Review – Gabriel

“Gabriel” is a dark odyssey into mental instability and obsessive behavior that also acts as something of a celebration for actor Rory Culkin. Typically stone-faced and mumbly, Culkin is tasked with creating a full-blooded character with deep-seated, cleverly masked issues, requiring thespian subtlety, not indie film mummification.
