The setting seems like a place made for ghosts. And yet the lasting impression made by Gabriel and the Mountain is life-affirming and ultimately joyful. Full Review

A perceptive and poetic hybrid of documentary and fiction. It both captures and gently critiques Gabriel's free-spirited, adventurous sensibility. Full Review

The filmmaker's lyrical naturalism prevents "Gabriel and the Mountain" from feeling dry or remote. To call it a docudrama feels reductive; it does this captivating true-life tale a disservice. Full Review

Watching "Gabriel and the Mountain" is like getting to know all sides of a friend's character: You may discover more arrogance than expected, but the elements you always liked are reinforced. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- It's an affecting portrait and even though the film doesn't carry the weight it might have done, it makes its point. Full Review

Rating: 1.5/4 -- The film seems to think that the mere recognition of Gabriel as a narcissist sufficiently complicates the character's sense of entitlement. Full Review
