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

Unfortunately all the metafictional layering only highlights the lack of engagement at the center of the story, the three stars acting up a storm but barely acknowledging each other. April 17, 2020 | Full Review…

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. April 20, 2018 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

The film, like Ismael, cannot escape its own self-indulgent tendencies, leading to an experience that never coalesces into something that feels all that insightful, despite some fine acting and moments of wit and mystery. August 30, 2020 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

In spite of its admirable storytelling ambition and the obvious craftsmanship at play, Ismael's Ghosts does feel schizophrenically busy at times and proves ultimately unsatisfying as it fails to drive home the many questions it successfully raises. October 12, 2019 | Full Review…

Both he (Ismael) and the film deteriorate in front of our eyes in spectacular fashion, the hand that holds the threads begins to feel less steady as the filmmaker loses his grip on what is reality and what is fiction. February 12, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
