Great Humanistic Character-Centric Movie, 2 July 2001
10/10
Author: (motionpics) from california

Being a big fan of character-centric films with believable characters, I liked Gabriela. This movie has qualities rarely seen in recent years, being a humanistic portrait of characters with complex emotional issues.

Hopefully this movie can serve as an example for other film makers and distributors. Unfortunately films of this quality rarely make it to theaters. Hollywood films miss the mark because they are too often written by committees. Indie films also miss the mark as they have tended towards violence to get funding. Many European films have of late been emotionally dark to the point of being miserable. Gabriela is part of the great tradition of films about people and can be compared to the humanistic films of François Truffaut. Aside from having these humanistic qualities, Gabriela is an entertaining love story that is worth seeking out.
