A perceptive and poetic hybrid of documentary and fiction. It both captures and gently critiques Gabriel's free-spirited, adventurous sensibility. Jun 13, 2018 | Full Review…

Director Barbosa's love letter to his late friend is emotionally satisfying and cinematically splendid, with social commentary shoe-horned in for better or worse. Nov 10, 2017 | Rating: 3/4 | 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. May 23, 2017 | Full Review…

What kind of commercial market there is out there for this kind of fare beyond Brazil, where Buchmann's story is quite well-known, remains a question mark. May 22, 2017 | Full Review…

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. Aug 29, 2018 | 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. Aug 21, 2018 | Full Review…

The film seems to think that the mere recognition of Gabriel as a narcissist sufficiently complicates the character's sense of entitlement. Jun 12, 2018 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

By using the same locations that the real-life Gabriel visited in his travels as well as people who met him along his way playing themselves, Felipe Barbosa creates a profoundly moving character study that blurs the line between reality and fiction to near perfection.
