Ismael's Ghosts unites an excellent cast -- and their valiant efforts are often enough to counter its somewhat confused and disjointed story.

It's all very artfully done, with plenty of inventive camera work by Irina Lubtchansky. But I found it unsatisfying, even as a slice of life; it seemed more of a julienne. Apr 20, 2018 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

It's true that, even on a more complete viewing, not everything in "Ismael's Ghosts" coheres. If it did, I suspect the movie would not feel quite so alive. Apr 5, 2018 | Full Review…

Despite being an enjoyable ride-- with fine acting all around-- the story is too overstuffed to cohere, and its shifting time line gets tiresome. Dec 4, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…
