In "Abe" (2019), the film's ambition to weave together cultural exploration and a personal journey falls flat primarily due to Noah Schnapp's unconvincing portrayal of Abe. Schnapp's performance lacks the depth and authenticity required to embody the complexities of a character navigating his identity within a diverse cultural landscape. His portrayal feels wooden and disconnected, failing to convey the emotional depth and nuances essential to the role.

The film's potential to delve into the intricacies of familial ties and cultural fusion is overshadowed by Schnapp's underwhelming acting. His inability to fully inhabit the character creates a jarring experience for viewers, preventing any genuine connection or empathy towards Abe's journey.

While the premise holds promise, Schnapp's performance cripples the film's ability to resonate with audiences on an emotional or intellectual level. Ultimately, despite the film's aspirations, the lackluster portrayal of the central character leads "Abe" to stumble, leaving it with a regrettable 1/10 rating.
