A quirky, offbeat road trip and kidnapping dramedy, Carolina Cavalli’s The Kidnapping of Arabella moves through a variety of tones and genres in its relatively short runtime. Absurd, funny, and almost deadly serious with its moral implications, it’s a film that never fully synthesizes disparate tones while still managing an interesting little lark. Perhaps the […]
